Workshop Description
This training explores the ethical and clinical complexities of dual and multiple relationships in mental health practice through real-world case studies and practical discussion.
Participants will examine professional boundaries that can arise when personal and professional lives intersect, including situations commonly faced in rural communities, religious groups, LGBTQ+ communities, and among military veterans.
Designed to meet the New York State requirement for 3 hours of professional boundaries training, this course provides mental health professionals with guidance for navigating ethical dilemmas, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and strengthening professional decision-making across a range of practice settings.
Important Note: This course is designed to meet the NYS requirement of mental health professionals to receive 3 hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This course is NOT New York State specific and can satisfy ethics, boundaries, and general CE requirements for any state.
