Course overview

Seeing clients in multiple states and across state lines, either physically or via telehealth, is becoming more common and has the potential to dramatically change the professional landscape for therapists. However, understanding and navigating the relevant federal and state laws, licensing rules, and codes of ethics is not necessarily intuitive, and there are a variety of misunderstandings and myths about what is legal and ethical.

Well explore: The most common myths about interjurisdictional practice The truth around interstate compacts and how they work for counselors, social workers, and psychologists.
