Presentation Description

Children are cute, but the issues you often face in their treatment can be complex. In this three-hour CE course, CAMFT attorney Kristin Roscoe will use the story of 13-year-old “Jack” to guide attendees through common legal and ethical issues a therapist might reasonably encounter when working with a child. From consent to treatment, mandated reporting, writing letters, to court involvement, attendees will learn how to spot areas of liability and best proceed to support the treatment of minors. 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  1. Identify who may consent to the treatment of a minor and understand the particulars of a minor being able to consent to their own treatment. 
  2. Distinguish when some common mandated reporting scenarios may be permissive rather than mandatory. 
  3. Understand the legal and ethical risks associated with writing letters, particularly when there is court involvement. 
  4. Understand the psychotherapist-patient privilege and how best to support minor patients during custody or guardianship legal proceedings. 

TARGET AUDIENCE: LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, LEPs
