We are offering RECORDINGS of our L&E workshops for those of you whose schedules don't mesh with the live events.  Recordings will be available shortly after the event and will include presentation documents such as PowerPoint and Q&A transcript. 

Please note that we will send the Zoom recording as soon as CAMFT provides it to us.  You will receive an email with the necessary information to participate including the PowerPoint presentation (if one was used), the Q&A from the Zoom session, the recording of the workshop and the evaluation. 

You will have 14 days from when you receive the email with the recording and all the other information to return completed evaluations and receive your CEUs.  The reason we have shortened the timeframe is because several folks have "lost" the email with all of the pertinent information, say they never received it and ask for it to be resent.  We have a detailed tracking system within our website that has a record of every email sent and delivered, whether it was opened by the recipient and whether links within the email were clicked.

Our volunteers take extra time from their busy personal and professional lives to address stragglers and procrastinators.  When we hold workshops in person we complete the evaluation at the end of the workshop and immediately receive the CEU certificate.  We have learned over the past several months of "Zooming" that the sooner folks respond to the evaluation email the easier it is to "close the books" on events. 

We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Law & Ethics Annual Workshop 2020: Part 4 of 4

This is the fourth of four L&E workshop modules we will be offering this year.  

Luke Martin, Esq.

A therapist’s mandatory reporting obligations under the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act

Attorney Luke Martin takes an in-depth look at Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act from the standpoint of what the California Penal Code states. Mr. Martin examines why the law was created, who qualifies as a mandated reporter, the various types of abuse and neglect as well as concludes with how to actually make a report. Various scenarios will be presented throughout and as time permits questions will be answered on specific instances.

At the end of this presentation, participants will:

1. Be able to identify the specific categories of abuse and neglect
2. Understand their obligations to report as a mandate reporter
3. Recognize where and how they must report abuse and neglect

Participants will be able to:

1. Recognize why the law was created and acknowledge potential deficiencies in the law
2. Interpret the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act as it relates to marriage and family therapy
3. Assess multiple scenarios to analyze if child abuse and neglect has occurred

This course meets the qualifications for 1.5 hours of continuing education credits for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs and/or LEPs as required by the Board of Behavioral Sciences. Completion of ALL FOUR MODULES of the series earns a discount on liability insurance.  You will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the workshop.
