4 hours of continuing education from NASW-WI Plenary Session: Collaboration, Confidentiality and Community: Exploring Ethics and Boundaries in School-Based Mental Health
As schools across Wisconsin continue to work with their communities to advance mental well-being for students, mental health clinicians are increasingly part of the array of supportive resources available at school. Research shows that providing access to mental health treatment in school reduces barriers to care, increases family engagement, facilitates teaming and improves academic outcomes.
Operating within a school environment introduces unique opportunities and unique challenges for a mental health clinician. Join us on April 12 as we explore and discuss ethical practice within a school-based setting.
