This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you are a psychotherapist who never received training in how to write progress notes, you are in good company.  But you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you — or your clients.  Especially with insurance plans more frequently reviewing client charts — even those of out-of-network therapists — this training couldn’t be more essential.
This three-hour webinar will give you a great overview of how to write progress notes, with an eye toward meeting legal, ethical, and licensing boards requirements.  You&#8217;ll be given tips to create brief, helpful notes that can allow you to feel confident if you ever receive a records request, or if you have to defend yourself in a complaint.   In addition, you will learn about health plan documentation requirements, in case you are audited.  For all therapists, more detailed notes can mean protecting ourselves, as well as helping clients get the treatment they deserve.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

What's Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

What’s Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Med Probs vs Mental Health Probs Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1064804746?h=5a7f5b2fd0&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Mental health symptoms aren’t always what they seem—fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, panic attacks, and even memory problems can sometimes be signs of underlying medical conditions rather than purely psychological disorders. What if your client’s “treatment-resistant depression” is actually a thyroid disorder? Or their panic attacks are being fueled by undiagnosed heart issues?
As a mental health professional, you’re the first line of defense in helping clients get the care they need—but recognizing when to treat, investigate further, or refer out can be tricky. This practical, eye-opening training will give you the confidence to differentiate medical from psychiatric conditions so you can stop second-guessing, make smarter clinical decisions, and ensure your clients receive the right treatment.
Among the topics covered in this webinar include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>The top medical conditions that masquerade as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even psychosis</li>
<li>5 key screening questions (+ follow-ups!) to help you determine if symptoms might have a medical cause</li>
<li>When to refer to a medical provider—and how to advocate when medical concerns are dismissed</li>
<li>How sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle factors can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms</li>
<li>Real-world case examples to help you apply your knowledge in practice</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

DESCRIPTION: Join us for an Author&#8217;s Talk &#8211; a timely and insightful conversation with Dana Ackley, PhD, author of *<a href="https://theeqpress.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAArBXHq_udLJFrz754NfN08252jjZk&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwkN--BhDkARIsAD_mnIq0nkEbdYiRNYtdRoooDZCN5PLh4aVzmRfbnIP37wUzdACZ1vGD7eYaAu72EALw_wcB">A Little Book to Save Humanity</a>.* Dr. Ackley provides a refreshing antidote to the approach of the fear entrepreneurs  &#8211;  the folks on social media, in the news, and those politicians who enrich themselves by selling us on the idea that the world is a dangerous place – and that those who do not share our views are not to be trusted.
Through compassion, humor, and wisdom amassed from a lifetime of being first a therapist and then an executive coach, Dr. Ackley will discuss why and how fear sells. Even more importantly, how we can use Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to better manage disruptive emotions, develop resilience, and build healthier relationships.
Dr. Ackley will share practical strategies that professionals can use to help both their clients and themselves build stronger emotional awareness and self/other understanding.
This is sure to be a lively discussion with lots of sensible tidbits allowing time for your questions and reflections.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.

DESCRIPTION: Suicide risk can evoke uncertainty and fear in treatment providers, in part because it is difficult to understand and the stakes are high. In this context, Dr. Klonsky will present his Three-Step-Theory of suicide. The theory offers an explanation for suicide that is evidence-based, concise, widely applicable, and actionable. The webinar will describe the conditions that give rise to suicidal desire, the conditions under which suicidal desire progresses to a potentially lethal suicide attempt, and key causes of suicide risk that can be flexibly monitored and targeted across diverse intervention modalities and contexts. This webinar is designed to be of use to beginner, intermediate, and advanced audiences.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

HIPAA Compliance Kit 11th Edition

The HIPAA Kit and HIPAA Forms are available online in PDF format with links to the forms in Word Doc. You can access them instantaneously online. You can copy the HIPAA Forms to your word processing program, insert your letterhead and name, make other necessary changes, adapt them to your particular practice, and you&#8217;re all set. The HIPAA Kit and Forms are not available in hard copy. You can also purchase the HIPAA Kit and Forms along with the Essential Clinical Forms below.
The Kit provides you with the most basic and practical understanding of HIPAA regulations and offers many practical ways to achieve compliance. The Kit does not provide a state-by-state preemption analysis, which you can obtain from your state board or national professional organization. The kit uses parts of California law as an example of some of the preemption analysis and provides a summary of the important aspects of the preemption analysis for California. You must modify the forms included in the Kit according to your personal and professional needs and requirements.
&#8220;Ingeniously combining his extensive knowledge of practice with his keen understanding of HIPAA with all its implications, Dr. Zur has compiled a practical, readable guide that addresses the potentially most impacting and disruptive force to confront psychotherapy. No mental health practitioner can afford to be without it as your practice may depend on it.&#8221;

DISCLAIMER: The HIPAA Compliance Kit does not intend to be a substitute for legal, ethical, or clinical advice or consultation. State laws may supersede HIPAA regulations and you must check with the laws and regulations of your state and your professional association. The very latest revision of the federal regulations may not be included in this Kit. The Kit intends to give psychotherapists a basic understanding of HIPAA regulations and is not intended to provide a complete compliance manual. It is not intended to serve as the ultimate or definitive guide to HIPAA regulations. It does not provide a state-by-state preemption analysis. It does not contain details for performing a security risk analysis or for securing any given set of computers and other electronic devices. This Kit expresses only Dr. Zur&#8217;s opinions and understanding of the regulations and does not claim to give definitive or comprehensive answers, nor the &#8220;right&#8221; interpretation of many of the complex and often ambiguous questions which are raised by the lengthy, new HIPAA regulations. Additionally, many regulations may still be changing and this Kit does not reflect any of the changes contained in the new regulation updates. State laws also change continuously and the result will be that guidelines for your practice will have to change, too. Contact your professional association, an attorney, your malpractice insurance carrier, boards and other state or federal agencies for the most current guidelines and information.
