The information about medical errors was fascinating, but I also found the substance abuse counseling advice very interesting. I enjoyed reading the material and it was affordable. When I needed help it was quickly available.
★★★★★
This was a well written, enjoyable course from a different perspective than we usually get on this topic. Refreshing!
What was your favorite part of the course: Several things. First, I loved the perspective that lack of competence by professionals who attempt to treat clients with issue for which they do not have expertise was well done. You did not just state it because we all know that, but you drove the point home with your sections on Misdiagnosis, substance abuse, and domestic violence. The second thing I liked what the clarity in the section called Confidentiality and Privilege in Legal Situations. Our attorney se emed to waffle in his direction over the years, but in fact because of the clarity provided in this section, I know have an understanding of where he was coming from although he never articulated it this clearly. Thank you
★★★★★

Description
This course will look at the staggering numbers of errors made in the medical field, and then concentrate on errors made by therapists in the mental health field, including errors in documentation, dual relationships, handling suspected abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, assessing mental illness, maintaining confidentiality, and assessing and treating suicide. Students will come away with their eyes open and a toolbox of solutions and preventative measures. Learning materials include videos, personal stories, fact sheets, and lists of do’s and don’ts.
The statistics are staggering. The number of people killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars pales in comparison to the number of people killed by preventable medical errors in this country every year. Don’t let even one of your patients become a statistic. Boards governing healthcare providers throughout the nation deserve credit for bringing this shocking information out of the shadows by requiring healthcare providers to be educated, aware, and prepared. The information in this will put you in a position to save lives.
