Washington State Society of Clinical Social Work (WSSCSW) board members are hosting an informal social coffee hour. We do not have a set agenda. We want to meet up with clinical social workers and hear from you about your ideas and needs as we move forward as a community. In addition to hearing from you, it’s an opportunity to network and connect with other clinical social workers. If you work or live in the area, we hope you will swing by. The location is The Hanger at 6728 Northeast 181st Street, Kenmore, WA 98028

But Practicing Across State Lines is one legal issue that stands-out as particularly confusing and concerning to many mental health professionals. This one-hour PESI video program will give you what you need to legally provide telehealth services across state lines and protect your license!

In this one-hour recording, you’ll learn:

How to protect yourself from legal and ethical pitfalls when practicing across state lines
Inter jurisdictional state laws and guidelines relevant to you
HIPAA requirements you need to be aware of
How to stay up to date with changing laws

A link to the PESI evaluation will be emailed to you after the training in order for you to receive the 1 CEU.

Learning Objectives:

Evaluate common legal issues concerning practicing across state boundaries.
Assess additional resources and ways to stay current on inter jurisdictional laws and guidelines.
Determine what HIPAA requires for handling emergencies using telehealth and appropriate documentation and the updates due to the Coronavirus.
