Informed Consent in a Dumpster Fire

Friday May 9th from 9 am to 11 am PT | Virtual 

What are the known risks to diagnosis, clinical documentation and therapeutic work during this time? There’s a LOT of confusion, misinformation and fear. Let’s get clear about the real risks, explore potential risks and remember the real benefits. Let us help you prepare for the complexity of discussing informed consent with clients during so much uncertainty. 
This is casual, town-hall / podcast-style Continuing Education workshop. We’ll bring our knowledge and expertise, you bring your questions and conversation.  
Voluntary, enthusiastic and on-going informed consent requires therapists to provide significant knowledge and psycho-education to ensure that clients have a clear understanding of the potential risks and benefits of therapy, diagnosis and formal documentation of clinical work. Informed consent as a therapeutic duty is often explored at length in graduate school and throughout a therapist’s supervision and continued education. However, the impact of major sociopolitical upheaval ON the informed consent process is deeply unexplored.  Let’s fix that!

UPDATE: Due to the escalated threat/concern, we have changed the Informed Consent course to pay what you can. In order to make this change we had to remove CEs.
