Ethics and Risk Management: Confidentiality in the Digital World

We live in a time of murky and very informal boundaries. Privacy is a fundamental right, and while the general public may be throwing away that right, it is the responsibility of all therapists to keep client information private. Today, psychotherapists of all professional disciplines must make thoughtful decisions about whether and to what extent they will incorporate electronic technology into their professional lives. To practice ethically, therapists who use digital and other technology must develop privacy and confidentiality protocols. This program focuses on issues related to risk management, online counseling, and HIPAA.

This CE course is designated as intermediate. There is no known conflict of interest or commercial support.

Target audience: Target audience: Psychologists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, case managers, nurses
