Did you know that on average 18% of all the licensing board disciplines are related to sexual behavior-related violations? At least 1 in 8 clinicians have self-reported sexual boundary crossing with their clients during their career.
As a practice owner, manager, or supervisor, do you recognize the red flags? Do you know how to supervise someone who might be susceptible to sexual boundary crossing in clinical practice? This training aims to prepare supervisors to prevent workplace sexual boundary violations and harassment, reduce liability, and prevent time waste.
Sexual Harassment in the workplace is costly and damaging to both employers and employees. Not only does it pose a risk of legal cost, drive up malpractice insurance premiums, but the human cost is the most devastating. This two-hour supervisors' training covers the legal and ethical guidelines for preventing sexual harassment, including identifying red flags and warning signs, as well as the necessary steps for employers to address ongoing harassment. Remedies and legal procedures available to victims will be covered. This is not legal advice; however, we cover required content regarding laws that govern sexual harassment and sexual boundary violations in psychotherapy.

This training specifically addresses the needs of supervisors and issues that impact managing a practice and collaborating with other clinicians.
