Description

There are policies and actions that you can put into practice now to protect yourself.

  • What if that simple caring hug you gave a child in a therapy session somehow triggered a report to your licensing board?
  • Do you know what to do when a child hits you during a session?
  • What about when a child tries to touch you inappropriately?

Dr. Janet Courtney in this engaging webcast explores these ethical considerations of touch including current research, cultural concerns, and the importance of touch to human development. Come away with over 20+ clinical and ethical best practice guidelines! Case examples are highlighted to demonstrate in-the-moment interventions with client populations (infants to teenagers) dealing with issues related to attachment, autism, ADHD, Sensory processing disorder, and physical and sexual abuse.
