About the Event

Mental health professionals are more than their professional role. We have personal lives. When those personal lives intertwine with our professional lives, things get complicated. This training explores dual/multiple relationships by examining case examples from the common to the unlikely, but still real. Special attention will be paid to considerations for communities where dual/multiple relationships in the provision of mental health care might not be avoidable, including rural areas, religious groups, LGBTQ+ communities, and veterans of military service.

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.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
