Course Description:
Many continuing education ethics programs are generic in nature. Many continuing education ethics programs stress risk management strategies to the detriment of the attendees, especially if an attorney presenter is involved.
This program is different. Rather than avoiding clinical issues, this program explores the manner by which clinical and ethical issues affect the everyday practice of the mental health professional in Delaware. This unique blend of clinical and ethical concerns allows for a more meaningful understanding and interpretation of the rules that govern mental health practice.
These goals are reached through the experience and the interactive style of the presenter, Allan M. Tepper, J.D., Psy.D. Different from other individuals who possess joint degrees in psychology and law, Dr. Tepper actually maintains an active psychology practice and an active law practice. He functions as a clinician, and he represents mental health professionals who experience legal difficulties. In this regard, Dr. Tepper brings an extremely unique perspective in the practical understanding of ethics.
These goals also are reached through the manual utilized in the seminar. The manual materials are not generic in nature. All of the written materials are state specific to Delaware.
When interacting with an attorney, it sometimes is difficult to hear the words, “Trust me.” For this seminar, however, we do say “Trust us!” We guarantee you won’t walk away disappointed.
Objectives:
• Specify state and administrative laws that impact clinical practice.
• Determine the ethical and legal principle of informed consent.
• Determine the notes, documents, reports, forms, and clinical data that constitute the record.
• Evaluate record-keeping practices.
• Analyze how to comply with third-party requests for records.
• Establish the consent necessary to treat minors and release records of minors.

Are you frustrated with having the same client sessions over and over without any results? Perhaps you’re watching your clients struggle with addiction, anxiety, or other mental health challenges, and so far, you’ve been unable to empower them to make positive changes in their lives. You feel like you’re working harder than your client, and you’ve tried everything.
You can make a significant, positive impact on your clients’ lives with Motivational Interviewing.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) has emerged over the past three decades as a leading approach for addressing a core clinical concern – motivation. When mastered, this evidence-based approach is highly effective in motivating positive change.
Better still, Motivational Interviewing can be used regardless of diagnosis and in conjunction with other treatment approaches.
Join Kriss Haren, experienced motivational interviewing trainer, and she will teach you the skills you need to know in order to successfully help these clients. You’ll learn how the MI process works, how to help your clients resolve ambivalence about change, and how to effectively respond to resistance in clients. You’ll leave this seminar confident and with the strategies you need to treat your clients with depression, anxiety disorders, addictive behaviors and other clinical issues.
By registering today, you can escape the pattern of struggling with clients, and instead evoke your clients’ own motivation to change.
Objectives:
• Correlate the relational and technical components that allow MI to improve clinical outcomes in a positive and supportive way.
• Model how the four processes and OARS skills of MI help reduce ambivalence and produce change in clients.
• Explore ways to elicit, recognize and respond to change talk to improve treatment outcomes.
• Develop clinical strategies for working effectively with clients who are resistant to change.
• Explain ways that MI can be integrated to enhance the effectiveness of other existing therapeutic approaches.

Course Description:
This seminar will help you to better intervene with the challenging child – the one who won’t sit still; doesn’t follow directions; often throws tantrums; or has difficulty waiting for their turn. They react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need or what is frustrating them. We know this child is intelligent, caring and kind, but their behavior doesn’t reflect these positive qualities. These are the children who confuse and frustrate parents and who overwhelm teachers and peers. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are dysregulated and unable to succeed socially and academically.
Join clinical psychologist Dr. Ehlert and learn how to effectively intervene with emotional and behavioral dysregulation using techniques that address the sensory, language and executive functioning processing deficits that trigger them. Through discussion and hands-on activities, you will learn how to create appropriate behavioral expectations and environments that will help children with High-Functioning Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorders.
