Today’s behavioral professional is keen to understand the many ways to use technology to leverage their time and energy. Many are also excited about the possibility of working from home, where the commute is as short as going from the kitchen to their den. They often are unsure of the legal and ethical issues involved, however. “None the of this is rocket science” said Dr. Marlene Maheu, the webinar presenter and founder of the Telebehavioral Health Institute. She continued, “Very specific laws and ethical codes have to be followed when working from home, but they can be quickly learned in a single hour. Within reason, anyone can work from their home, or even from the road if they have a stable Internet connection and the right equipment, protocols and awareness of required zoning and other laws.

Dr. Maheu will:

Intelligently discuss the broad pros and cons of working from your home as a clinician.
