Managing Legal and Ethical Risks in Professional Practice: Proactive Strategies for Therapists and Mental Health Professionals.
No clinician sets out to face legal trouble—but even the most well-meaning professionals can find themselves on the receiving end of a complaint, subpoena, or claim of malpractice. Whether it's a data breach, an error in mandatory reporting, or a misunderstanding that escalates, these challenges often arrive unannounced and can have serious personal, professional, and financial consequences. Managing Legal and Ethical Risks in Professional Practice offers a practical and accessible guide to identifying and minimizing legal vulnerability in therapeutic work. Drawing from real-world cases, this webinar unpacks the legal definitions of negligence, unprofessional conduct, and reasonable care. It demystifies the process of responding to complaints and subpoenas and clarifies the roles of regulatory bodies, insurance providers, and the courts. Most importantly, it equips you with proactive strategies for clinical risk management that support both ethical practice and peace of mind. Designed for therapists, and other allied health professionals, this session will help you build protective frameworks into your everyday operations—so you can keep your focus where it belongs: on helping your clients.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Identify common legal and ethical risks in therapeutic practice, including complaints, breaches of duty, and subpoenas.
• Distinguish between unprofessional conduct, negligence, and malpractice, and understand the standards for reasonable care.
• Identify types of complaints, investigative bodies and processes, and potential consequences.
• Describe the roles of regulatory bodies and legal processes in managing complaints and professional liability.
• Implement practical clinical and administrative safeguards that reduce exposure to legal consequences and promote ethical practice.
