SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! An Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures 🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕BRAND-NEW!🆕\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nAn Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, February 20th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:15 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You’ll receive the link via email the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 4 Law & Ethics CEs | $125.00\nCommunicating care to clients is essential for developing a therapeutic alliance. But with the increased focus on client treatment outcomes\, communicating care can be overshadowed — and even lost — when assessing\, evaluating\, writing treatment plans\, and monitoring progress.  Thank goodness purposefully using assessment measures can do both! Using them can help create a therapeutic alliance by supporting clinicians and clients when used ethically and in client-centered ways. \nAssessment measures can identify a wide array of clinical concerns used to diagnose disorders and validate a client’s lived experience. When used ethically\, they can be used to develop a client-centered treatment plan and monitor client progress throughout treatment. Working together\, clinicians and clients can use them to connect\, learn\, and grow. \nBut it appears many clinicians don’t use them. Learning how to access\, score\, and use them efficiently throughout treatment can be overwhelming. But with an easy\, purposeful process\, that can all change! \nLearn a purposeful process for using free\, evidence-based assessment measures that are valid\, reliable measures to assess clients’ overall health and assess depression\, generalized anxiety\, panic disorder\, social anxiety\, trauma\, and substance use. Ethical implications will be highlighted for using measures efficiently and effectively from intake to discharge\, while focusing on client-centered care and the therapeutic alliance throughout. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn how to use assessment measures ethically and in client-centered ways to support the development and growth of a therapeutic alliance from start to finish.\nLearn how to skillfully engage clients with assessment measures to support and inform assessment\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and evaluation of care provided.\nPractice administering and scoring assessment measures during the workshop for proficiency in diagnosing and treating common disorders\, including depression\, panic disorder\, generalized anxiety disorder\, social anxiety disorder\, trauma\, and substance disorders.\nIncrease knowledge of copyright rules and identify free assessment measures that are valid\, reliable and easily accessed in the public domain.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
