LARGE GROUP ETHICS TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

Deb offers ETHICS training sessions for social workers, psychologists, counselors, and addiction counselors  via Zoom webinars through her business: Beyond Ethics, LLC. More frequently now, Deb is inviting a colleague with a special area of expertise to join her for a portion of the webinar presentation. And always in Deb’s group presentations, she welcomes audience participation in the form of advance “situations, dilemmas” or in person questions/comments during the webinar. Deb’s philosophy of training is much like her philosophy of life: If it’s worth doing, let’s have fun doing it and learn a ton in the process!!

The training sessions Deb offers through Beyond Ethics, LLC are certified for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in Ethics by the various licensing boards in Louisiana and can be used for Continuing Professional Development (CPDs) in Colorado. Certificates will be provided in both states. The training is designed to fulfill the annual Ethics requirements for all disciplines in Louisiana where Ethics CEUs (3.0) is required for renewal.

Several times a year, Deb presents on a different topic involving self-protective, ethical handling of high-risk clinical practices and legal involvement.

The topics of my training this year (2024) have been Ethical Challenges with Divorced Parents: Clinical and Legal Conundrums and Ethical Management of Boundaries in the Digital Age: Necessities (“the Rules”) and Suggestions for Increasing Well-being of Clinicians and Their Clients.

Other recent topics include:

  • Ethical Management of Business Sticky Wickets in Clinical Practice: Documenting, Avoiding Complaints, Disciplinary Processes, and Handling Subpoenas
  • Divorcing Couples with Children: Ethical, Self-Protective Management of High-Risk Cases and Legal Involvement
  • Self-Protective Handling of Ethical Dilemmas That Arise Around Imminent Risk Cases in Social Work

  • Ethical Management of Legal Involvement: Authentic Use of the Therapist’s Self
  • Ethical Clinical Practice in an Electronic Age

Any of the above topics can be selected for customized group training or consultation.
