10 am-1 pm PST | 11 -2 pm MST | 12 pm-3 pm CST | 1-4 pm EST

Can’t make it live? All registrants get the recording!

While aimed at a nationwide audience, this webinar fulfills the new California Board of Behavioral Sciences mandate for 3 hours of telehealth training for all California Master’s level therapists — even if you don’t provide telehealth!   If you haven’t already, you’ll need to take a course like this before your next license renewal! 

We’ve been doing telehealth for years – so why do we need this training? Because relevant laws and technologies are changing all the time.  Our amazing presenter, Ben Calwell, PsyD, will help break down all you need to know about the all the latest technology you may be curious about how to securely use in your practice — including emailing and texting, phone apps, FaceTime, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).  He’ll give tips to ensure you are practicing telehealth ethically and legally, talk about what you need to know about HIPAA, bust common myths about practicing across state lines, and tell you the 4 things you should include in each telehealth session note.  See the complete list of topics he will cover on the registration page.
