A 6-hour training with Mita Johnson, EdD, LPC, LMFT, LAC, MAC, SAP

November 16, 2022

8:30am–3:30pm 

PRESENTATION: As providers working in the addictions and allied professions, clinicians and others are required to adhere to ethical and legal mandates in order to do no harm while delivering evidence-based, client-centered treatment and recovery support.  NAADAC's Code of Ethics (revised 01.01.21) provides the profession with standards of practice and boundaries of practice.  We will integrate day-to-day confidentiality, privacy, and ethical concerns that come up.  This 6-hour workshop on advanced ethical practices will build on ethical and confidentiality requirements at the state and federal levels, lessons from our telehealth/Covid experiences, hybrid practices, and business concerns.  There will be in-depth discussions, using case studies, on the following topics: 

• confidentiality:  HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, PDMP
• privacy: privileged communications; subpoenas; court orders
• alignment:  standards of practice versus scope of practice
• staying in your lane:  clinical supervision and professional development
• informed consent:  legal, trauma-specific, and technology-specific
• embracing a culturally diverse practice: diversity, equity and inclusion; CLAS standards; CFI
• boundaries:  crossings versus violations; dual relationships; counseling across borders
• the person of the counselor:  impairment versus functionality; self-care at work
• credentials:  risk management; consultation; documentation
• The virtual workshop will be very interactive, allowing for open dialogue with attendees about real life scenarios and concerns for all of us to consider.  Please bring your questions, concerns and comments.

At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
