Webinar Description: Mental health professionals have a legal and ethical obligation to keep records to memorialize their work with their clients. However, what you record, and how it is recorded, can be confusing to navigate. This workshop will explore the legal and ethical requirements of clinical record keeping, while highlighting ethical challenges and the realities of busy professionals.

Goals and Objectives:

This course aims to bring context to ethical concerns often experienced by behavioral/physical health professionals in practice with individual clients/patients. At the conclusion of this course, participants will:

1. Describe the ethical responsibility of mental and behavioral health professionals to maintain client records.
2. Distinguish the ethical responsibility of mental and behavioral health professionals to maintain client records from related legal requirements.
3. Explain how they protect client confidentiality through their record keeping practices.
