Dr. Maheu recently commented, “Informed consent is the bottom line for behavioral practitioners. Without a proper informed consent process and a well-written informed consent document, clinicians are vulnerable, no matter what they do in their clinical practices.” She continued, “By closely following the informed consent rules developed by our state legislators and the standards and guidelines set by our professionals associations, clinicians can safely manage their risk both responsibility and sensibly.”

In this 2-hour webinar, Dr. Maheu will guide you a “deep dive” into those rules, standards and guidelines, clearly outlining what most professionals need to to know about informed consent. After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:
