Please join us for our annual fall workshop as LPA continues to celebrate our 75th anniversary!
LPA is excited to have The Trust Professional Liability Insurance Company sponsor and present a six-hour ethics continuing education workshop on ethics, risks, and vulnerabilities in the practice of psychology. A continental breakfast and lunch is included with registration with an optional networking happy hour after the workshop.
Description:
Dr. Leisl Bryant, clinical and forensic psychologist and consultant with The Trust, will present an updated review of decision science and its implications for bias and vulnerability in clinical, ethical and risk management decision-making. She will discuss strategies for reducing the impact of these vulnerabilities, issues arising in remote services beyond the pandemic, boundaries in advocacy by professionals on behalf of their clients/patients, and the risk- management implications of self-care (or its absence) for psychologists.
