The “Ethics Around Clinical Teams, Professional Relationships, & Referral Sources” course offers essential training for clinicians navigating ethical challenges within multi-disciplinary teams. This 3-CE course focuses on maintaining confidentiality, handling dual relationships, and managing ethical dilemmas when working with referral sources. Perfect for mental health professionals seeking to refine their ethical decision-making, this training equips you with practical tools to protect client welfare and professional integrity in clinical settings.
Lots of us work on clinical teams, frequently consult with other professionals, and commonly refer to other clinics, hospitals or professionals in private practice. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what information is ethically forbidden to be disclosed in order to protect client welfare and confidentiality. Some clinicians unknowingly violate ethical guidelines within these relationships and are completely unaware of the risks this carries in terms of client welfare, preservation of confidentiality, and even threat to professional licensure.
Please join us to increase your knowledge and insight in navigating ethical waters as it relates to professional relationships, referral sources and working on a clinical team. Jodi Geis-Crowder will share insight and real-world examples from her 25 years of experience working in community mental health on clinical teams with clients that are often mandated and referred through community partners. In this webinar you will gain knowledge regarding HIPAA, confidentiality, releases of information and sharing information on a need to know basis while preserving the therapeutic alliance with the client. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to be fully engaged and be challenged with this creative presentation!
In addition to the below Objectives, this live webinar will also touch on the following:
- Identify two aspects of subpoenas that you must consider to protect your liability.
- Identify two areas of ethical consideration when working with professionals that you may have dual relationships with in your communities.
- Identify two ways to navigate “sticky’ situations with co-team members when you disagree on the therapeutic goals of a shared client.
- Identify two challenges and how to deal with them if a client revokes a release of information.
- Identify two strategies to assist you to work with the referral sources of mandated clients (probation, department of human services, etc.) when you don’t agree with their recommendation for client treatment.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of obtaining a supervisor or consultant by identifying two ways that consulting with another professional can assist you to maintain professional boundaries with referral sources and other members of the clinical team.
**This is a 3-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**
Agenda:
00:00 – 01:00: Five Moral Ethical Principals
01:00 – 02:00: Client ROIs

Objectives:
This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:
a). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify three reasons why mandatory disclosure is one of the most important aspects of client care and sets the stage for confidentiality, specifically as it relates to mandated clients, referral sources and treatment team approaches, while maintaining the therapeutic relationship.
b). After completing this training, participants will be able to define at least two aspects of team meetings that must be reviewed and discussed with the client prior to each meeting, specifically as it relates to compliant releases of information.
c). After completing this training, participants will be able to define your own ethical decision-making model and identify three points that should be part of your model when working with referral sources and on a clinical team.

Ready to hone your skills in treating complex trauma and boost your credentials? The Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy course offers expert-driven insights to get you up to speed. This practical method empowers your clients to gain emotional control.
And the good news is that you can complete the IFS training online from the comfort of your home.
Keep reading to uncover how this innovative approach can revolutionize trauma treatment.
Most modes of psychotherapy believe that to have “parts” is pathological. NOT in Internal Family Systems (IFS). In IFS, the idea of multiplicity of the mind is normal. Every part has a good intention, and every part has value. Even for trauma survivors.
In the treatment of trauma, IFS differs from traditional phase-oriented treatments. Instead of starting with building resources in clients before processing traumatic memories, it welcomes extreme symptoms from the onset, learns about their positive protective intentions and gets their permission to access the traumatic wounds.
IFS is the treatment method that all clinicians should know. Nearly all clients with a trauma history have innate abilities that help them improve their mental health if they listen to their parts. IFS does just that. IFS is an evidence-based approach for clinicians working with traumatized clients. Once you see it in action, you’ll want to incorporate it into your practice!
Clients will leave your office with skills to use outside the therapy room to help them master their emotions. This experiential training will show video demonstrations and include exercises and meditation
techniques to use with your clients.

Date course created: January 2023
Evidence-informed therapies for PTSD can be either rigid and prescriptive, making it difficult to stay client-centered, or largely theoretical, sometimes lacking in practical application. Developed by a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, Neural Desensitization and Integration Training (NDIT) is a flexible, module-based, trauma-focused approach to PTSD that integrates elements from EMDR, multichannel eye movement integration, prolonged exposure, IFS, and cognitive behavioral therapies. NDIT helps clients recover from post-trauma symptoms by specifically targeting and restoring the healthy functioning of these five key brain regions impacted by trauma:
- Amygdala,
- Hippocampus,
- Insula,
- Cingulate cortex, and
- Prefrontal cortex.
Grounded in decades of both brain science and empirical clinical research, NDIT is the first approach of its kind to bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical practice.
NDIT consists of five distinct modules, each of which focuses on key skills associated with healthy brain change in specific brain regions. NDIT facilitates therapeutic brain change by teaching clients how to……
- enhance attunement and connection with others (using techniques targeting multiple brain regions),
- safely reconnect with their bodies (using insula-targeted techniques),
- regulate their nervous system (using amygdala-targeted techniques),
- strengthen their cognitive abilities (using cingulate and prefrontal cortex-targeted techniques), and
- gently process trauma in a titrated manner, minimizing retraumatization (using hippocampus and prefrontal cortex-targeted techniques).
Additionally, NDIT focuses on what clients can do outside of therapy sessions to facilitate faster progress in therapy. NDIT modules are strategically sequenced to accelerate neuroplasticity, helping clients move with natural brain change, not against it.
This comprehensive, Level I NDIT course teaches clinicians basic NDIT skills from start to finish, equipping them to immediately begin using NDIT skills in their own practice. Registration includes detailed NDIT slides, handouts, worksheets, and scripts.
