Law & Ethics Training: Updates for Clinicians

Placer County Systems of Care is offering a Law & Ethics- Updates for Clinicians training (In-person) with Ben Caldwell. Must attend both days to earn credits.

• This course will review recent and planned changes to California and federal law for mental health professionals. We will discuss new rules for Good Faith Estimates and Emotional Support Animal letters to major changes in supervision rules. Additional meaningful changes around technology and continuing education are on the horizon, and clinicians who are fully aware of, and adapt to, these changes can reduce risk to their practices, their clients, and their supervisees. We will also discuss the impact of increased workloads and changes in client expectations on the realities of day-to-day practice.

Participants will be able to:

• Identify four recent changes in relevant state law for California mental health providers.
• Identify at least two recent changes in relevant state regulation for California mental health providers.
• List three requirements under federal law for mental health providers.
• Describe three common causes for professional disciplinary actions.

These trainings are free and open to the public. BBS continuing education units are offered for this training. Please see the attached flyers for more details.
