SUMMARY:Relationships\, Professional Roles\, and Boundaries in the Clinical Setting

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 CEs – 2 Professional Relationships and Boundaries CEs and 1 Law & Ethics CE | $109.00\nWorkshop Description:\nBoundary violations are among the most common reasons for professional discipline of behavioral health clinicians. Dual relationships—both intentional and unintentional—can take many forms and often pose ethical\, clinical\, and legal challenges. \nIn recognition of this significant cause of misconduct\, as of October 2025\, the Washington Department of Health has implemented a new requirement for two hours of continuing education in “Professional Roles and Boundaries” every two years (the new Washington State continuing education requirements\, according to WAC 246-809-630\, can be found here). \nIn this two-hour workshop\, we will examine Washington State laws and professional ethical standards regarding personal and dual relationships with clients. Drawing from recent Washington Department of Health disciplinary decisions\, participants will engage with real-world case studies that illustrate common risk areas. The workshop will also offer practical strategies for establishing and maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries in everyday practice. \nThis course is designed to meet the Washington State Department of Health’s continuing education requirement for Professional Roles and Boundaries\, per WAC 246-809-630. \nThe third “bonus” hour will be a question-and-answer session with Eric and will include discussions of complex ethical cases involving professional roles and boundaries. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nImplement strategies to maximize clinical effectiveness while minimizing liability risk;\nApply Washington legal guidelines regarding dual relationships;\nApply ethical standards concerning personal relationships with clients;\nIdentify and describe various types of inconsistent dual relationships;\nRecognize risk factors that may contribute to boundary crossings or violations; and\nCreate and evaluate strategies to maintain appropriate and ethical clinical relationships.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
