Live interactive webinar: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion by unmuting and directly asking questions or through the chat feature in Zoom.
This workshop is for therapists who are continuing their online practice in some way after pandemic restrictions have lifted. Online practice has its own treatment framework for therapy, including ethical and clinical aspects, that will be reviewed and discussed. In comparison to having to set up your practice online rather quickly when the pandemic started, this workshop will go over the details to solidify your online practice protocols and clinical aspects to consider.
