Based on her experience running the ACA Risk Management Service, Nancy Wheeler will help prepare counselor educators and supervisors address the myriad of questions posed to them by the next generation of counselors. The format will utilize questions that students and supervisees may ask (as well as some generated by the educators and supervisors), and help the audience work through appropriate answers to those questions. The questions will include (among others): What do I do when one divorced parent wants counseling for the child but the other parent firmly disagrees? Do I have any obligations to my clients when I've lost my cell phone that contains their names and phone numbers? Is it OK to discuss the fees I plan to charge with other counselors? If I'm the Clinical Director of a mental health program, do I have special insurance needs? Can I inform clients at the outset that I will not appear as a witness in court? Relevant legal and ethics principles will be highlighted.
