CAN’T MAKE IT LIVE? THE WEBINAR WILL BE RECORDED! All registrants will automatically get the link to the recording, to watch at your convenience.

While aimed at a nationwide audience, this webinar fulfills the California Board of Behavioral Sciences mandate for 3 hours of telehealth training for all their licensees -- even if you don’t provide telehealth! CE details are below.

Technological advances are rapidly changing the way we practice. But most of us haven't had time to really keep up with all the changes. As clinicians, we are often intrigued by new technology, but don't always understand the benefits and dangers, and we worry about privacy. How can we take advantage of what technology can offer while remaining safely within legal and ethical boundaries?

Join telehealth expert Ben Caldwell, PsyD, LMFT in this engaging webinar, as he gives specific guidance on the important legal requirements and practical considerations for providing telehealth. It is guaranteed to make you think twice about your practice policies!

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• Emailing and texting with clients: Legal and ethical considerations
• 4 things your licensing board may require at the start of telehealth treatment
• 3 things your board may require at each telehealth session
• Common myths about seeing a client in another state
• The latest on interstate compacts
• Telehealth informed consent: Do you need it?
• Is it OK to have progress notes written by artificial intelligence (AI)?
• How can mental health apps improve the care we provide? When a client uses one, whose job is it to make sure their data isn't being sold?
• What you need to know about HIPAA compliance and confidentiality (and Is FaceTime HIPAA compliant?)

FAQs

"HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN THE TELEHEALTH PRE-RECORDED WEBINAR YOU OFFER IN YOUR ONLINE STORE?" This webinar will be more up-to-date than the pre-recorded webinar, which was recorded in the spring of 2024. Also, some people just prefer attending live trainings, and the possibility to have your questions answered live. I recommend if you can't attend live, it is wise to register and listen to the recording, so you have the most up-to-date info.
