Updates to the DSM for Practicing Clinicians
3 CEs
8:45 AM-12:00 PM ET
As a practicing clinician, staying informed about the latest updates to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is essential to providing the best care for your clients. The DSM-5-TR, released on March 22, 2022, introduces critical changes that every mental health professional needs to understand. This updated edition includes new disorders, revised diagnostic criteria, and updated ICD-10-CM codes—ensuring that clinicians have the most accurate and current tools at their disposal.
In this seminar, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the DSM-5-TR updates, including the introduction of three new disorders: Prolonged Grief Disorder, Suicidal Behavior Disorder, and Non-suicidal Self-Injury. You’ll learn how these updates impact diagnostic practices, treatment planning, and clinical documentation. This training will break down complex changes in an easy-to-understand format, with a special focus on the practical application of these updates to your everyday work. Stay ahead in your practice with the most current information available.
When Therapy Ends: Ethical Considerations of Terminations and Endings
3 Ethics CEs
12:45 PM-4:00 PM ET
All therapeutic relationships come to an end, but exactly how should that happen? Ending a therapeutic relationship can be just as critical as the work done throughout treatment. But how do clinicians navigate this process ethically while avoiding client abandonment? Join experienced presenter Diane Bigler, LCSW, LSCSW, as she explores best practices for ethical termination, ensuring clients receive the closure they need.
This engaging workshop will help clinicians distinguish between ethical termination and unethical abandonment from an NASW ethical perspective. Through case studies, guided discussions, and practical strategies, participants will gain clarity on when and how to end treatment responsibly. You’ll also explore the emotional impact of termination on both clients and clinicians and review strategies to reduce premature termination rates.
By the end of this training, you’ll feel more confident and prepared to facilitate ethical terminations, protect client well-being, and uphold professional standards.
