The Great Lakes A/MH/PTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.

DESCRIPTION:

The clinical supervisory relationship is triadic as opposed to dyadic. Paramount to this balance is understanding ethical and legal dynamics of supervision. Often therapists consult their supervisor on ethical issues such as duty to report, involuntary commitment, or administrative discharges. This brief workshop outlines supervisory ethics and offers discussion on key ethical dilemmas.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Recognize the need to balance of staff growth and patient protection.
• Discuss examples of supervisory liability in patient care.
• Understand rules related to dual relationships and both patient care and the supervisory relationship.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

This training includes 1 NAADAC continuing education credit. CE certificates will be emailed to all participants who attend the training in full.
