This training will address a variety of contemporary issues in ethics and professional practice for behavioral health professionals. These include implications for professional practice of emerging: 

• Clinical research (evidence-based assessment and intervention; the biological and genetic bases of addictions and mental health disorders; advances in medication assisted treatment);
• Practices (integrated behavioral health care; culturally responsive care); and,
• Technologies (Artificial Intelligence--AI, adaptation of biometric and other electronic devices into behavioral health care, electronic medical records).

This program will enhance your practice by supporting professional decision-making in four critical domains: clinical, legal, ethical, and risk management. While fundamental ethical principles (e.g., competence, informed consent, privacy) remain the same, their application has changed with advances in applied clinical research, introduction of technologies into clinical practice, increased integration of mental health care into large care systems, increasingly diverse populations, and research demonstrating wide disparities in access to—and quality of—mental health services. Theories and concepts of human behavior and clinical practice are also impacted by advances in neurodevelopment, technology, applied clinical research, and integration into large care systems.
