Cutting-Edge Ethical Issues in Behavioral Health: A Risk-Management Perspective

Frederic G. Reamer, PhD

This activity is approved for 3 contact hours in Category 1 ethics credits for Social Workers.

This webinar will examine compelling ethical challenges in behavioral health. Moving beyond introductory ethics concepts, Dr. Frederic Reamer will explore difficult ethical issues and practical strategies designed to protect clients and practitioners. The webinar will include challenging ethics cases and discuss practical steps that professionals can take to manage ethical issues skillfully. Key topics will include boundary issues, dual relationships, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, privileged communication, informed consent, clients’ rights, termination of services, documentation challenges, and impaired professionals. Dr. Reamer will highlight unique ethics and risk management challenges that have emerged due to the dramatic increase in practitioners’ use of technology to serve and communicate with clients remotely. The webinar will include discussion of relevant ethics standards; statutes, regulations, and case law.
