Maintaining Professional Boundaries, Part I and Part II

Description: Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries, but the obligation isn't always so easy to discern. This course brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This course will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. Credits will be offered to Social Workers and Licensed Creative Arts Therapists; all other disciplines will receive a certificate of attendance. Important Note: Due to the Office of Inspector General (OIG)'s rules, non-NYC Health + Hospitals medical providers (Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Licensed Midwives) can review the educational material but can't be awarded credit or provided a certificate of attendance.
