As therapists, our primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly explore their emotions and challenges. This sense of safety is rooted in trust. One of the most essential ways to foster trust from the very beginning of the therapeutic relationship is through Informed Consent, along with clear assurances of Privacy and Confidentiality. Establishing these principles upfront ensures that both therapist and client have a shared understanding of their rights, roles, and boundaries. It also protects you as a practitioner and ensures legal compliance. This comprehensive webinar will provide you with the knowledge and tools to establish and navigate the key aspects of Privacy, Confidentiality, and Informed Consent throughout your therapeutic practice. It will address how to handle these concepts with various client populations and explore the critical ethical and legal considerations.
