Working with Courts and Providing Effective Testimony Part I

Course overview

Working with court-ordered clients is often a challenging and overwhelming prospect for clinicians as courts have their own culture, which seems very different than the culture associated with traditional mental health environments, and being called to testify in court can be even more unnerving. This training is designed to assist mental health practitioners with understanding court processes and clarifying their role within the courts, providing treatment for court-ordered clients, responding to subpoenas, and preparing for court as well as providing effective testimony once they are called to court.
