Florida Ethics Course 3C focuses upon the details of how to perform and DOCUMENT a professionally competent Biopsychosocial Assessment of Children and Adolescents (whether routine or emergency) without the LEGAL, ETHICAL, AND PROFESSIONAL vulnerability which can come back to haunt us long after the fact. Learn why the ETHICAL canons pertaining to Professional Competency, Acting in the Best Interest of the Client, and Scope of Practice are inseparable from how we go about assessing, diagnosing, and documenting treatment of children and adolescents. This unique course lays bare the oftentimes overlooked 'traps' which even the most experienced clinicians fall into when assessing and diagnosing children and adolescents - placing us at great LEGAL, ETHICAL, and PROFESSIONAL RISK if overlooked. Long rated as one of our most popular courses, we have reworked Course 3C so that it may be taken as an ETHICS course, clarifying the connection between (1) how we perform the task of Assessment and Diagnosis of Children and Adolescents, and (2) the Ethical Standards of Practice which involve Professional Competence within our licensed Scope of Practice and responsibility to act in the best interest of the client.

This course explores the wisdom of moving past on-the-fly notations put to a 'yellow legal pad' when assessing and diagnosing children and adolescents, to a formal, STRUCTURED BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL ASSESSMENT format. Structured Assessments are essential to protect ourselves legally and professionally -- from an ETHICS perspective, a PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE perspective, and a PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY perspective. In this course we explain how and why the use of a structured assessment protocol is ultimately the only way to assure that we have complied with the PREVAILING ETHICAL STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CARE which are applied to assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with mental health and SUDs issues. Resist the expedient urge to ASSESS 'ON THE FLY', no matter how many years we have been in this business - particularly crucial when working with children and adolescents who present a potential for HARM TO SELF OR OTHERS. You may review the goals of this course in the Course Catalog, within the course description. And please remember that we offer unlimited CE Course Credits for an entire year, for only $59.95.
