If you were in a car accident this weekend, what would happen to your clients on Monday morning? Would they show up to your office, join a telehealth session, waiting for you? How would they learn what happened, or when you might be back? None of us likes to think about the possibility of an unexpected illness or emergency, or sudden death of the clinician, but it happens. A “professional will” can be the difference between a personal emergency, complaints of client abandonment, or breach of confidentiality.
This course reviews the need for behavioral health professionals to have a “professional will;” meet their ethical standard; learn the necessary components of a “professional will”; and what documents are needed in KY.
