Webinar: Ethical Challenges in Reporting Across the Lifespan-Child Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence and Elder Abuse

Date/Time

Wednesday, Sep 2, 2026
-

This training is not sponsored by the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency

3 Ethics CEs

Mental health and behavioral health professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment and are often required to report concerns for intimate partner violence and/or elder abuse, as well. These legal requirements to report are often confusing to navigate, especially in relation to our other professional and ethical responsibilities. 

This workshop is intended for mental and behavioral health professionals who already have a basic understanding of their obligations as mandated reporters and want to explore areas that are complicated by professional relationships with clients across the lifespan in light of legal obligations. Specifically, attendees will explore how reporting obligations differ based on the social problem they are reporting about. Where do these legal obligations to report come from? And are they ethically appropriate?   


Audience: Social Workers, LCPCs, and Psychologists, anyone interested in the subject matter
