Program Description

For many clinicians, patient lethality and mandatory reporting are some of the most difficult topics to navigate.

In this workshop, we’ll examine the applicable Washington State and Federal laws regarding mandatory reporting obligations with a specific focus on how these rules apply to behavioral health settings.

We will also discuss the boundaries and standards of clinician liability for client harm to self or others as defined in Washington State case law. Special consideration will be given to applying these topics to the context of telehealth and with regard to client/patient advocacy.

Participants will gain increased ability to implement strategies to minimize risk and to limit liability to best support their clients and patients. For those who need it, this course is intended to meet ethics CE requirements.

Objectives: Participants will be able to

  • Identify and apply legal guidelines regarding mandatory reporting obligations.
  • Identify and apply legal standards regarding duty to warn/duty to protect.
  • Create and evaluate strategies to meet legal reporting requirements while maximizing client/patient support.
  • Understand the implications of the telehealth context on reporting requirements and related legal duties.
  • Create strategies to advocate for clients/patients appropriately and safely.
