Objective:  This training will clarify the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist Board’s and major insurance companies’ rules and expectations of those licensed to provide mental health services in the state of Ohio.  


Reasoning: Keeping abreast of new guidelines can feel overwhelming at times which can lead to clinicians developing drift from their core ethics over time.  It is our goal to empower clinicians to understand the boards rules and abide by them in their daily work. We will also look at best practice as it relates to complying with major insurance panels and their expectations.    
Means:  This course will employ the use of training videos, lecture, and discussion. There will be plenty of time for questions and the trainees are happy to tailor this training as participants see helpful.
