Excellent course!! Love you both as presenters! I am the director of an outpatient program providing group therapy by telehealth due to the pandemic and found this course to be timely and very interesting, not something that can always be said for our required CEUs.

Loved what they had to offer! This was a timely and superb course in every way. Clear, fun and useful. I learned more than I anticipated, and it was a wonderful surprise.
★★★★★
So many things in this, and the other courses I took from The McMillans, stood out for me. First, the formatting with photos and links was so readable, then the information was comprehensive and the links helpfully amplified and expanded the information available. Also, the authors' personal stories of their own errors added credibility to the advice being given.
★★★★★
Excellent clinical and legal expertise on a "new" therapeutic technology.
Excellent price for the multiple course content.
★★★★★
I am so grateful I found this CEU provider. The last time I had to take CEU courses, the information was at times hard to read and understand due to all the legal jargon. CEU Affordable really makes things easier by putting everything in laymen's terms and including information you didn't even know you needed to know. The McMillians, really make this a more enjoyable read and keeps me interested, unlike other CE providers, where I am fighting to stay away while reading the material. Thanks!
★★★★★
I really enjoyed the ease of reading and being able to follow along the explanation. The authors made it very clear and to the point.
★★★★★
Good job! Very informative. It answered some questions I had. I felt that you were very knowledgeable about the topic you were teaching. Your personalization had just the right touch. I am checking out some of your other offerings.
★★★★☆
An outstanding, informative, well-structured course; thank you!

Thank you for providing this service to clinical providers who are overworked and typically, woefully underpaid.

Easy to understand, current, and well presented.

The Telehealth training provided well-presented information, and it was to the point without much extraneous information that I did not need. As a busy professional I appreciate that!

The course was well organized and provided relevant introductory information regarding the provision of Teletherapy services at a reasonable price. The authors were well informed, provided research based recommendations and included useful tools for practice. Overall, I would highly recommend this course for therapists considering the provision of Teletherapy.
★★★★★
Fantastic course. Not only relevant, but includes current information (news articles, studies) and offers links if you want to explore a topic further. Also, clinically sound with a fundamental expectation that ethical treatment is paramount. I would recommend it to any mental health professional.
★★★★★
The information provided in this course is vital during this time of pandemic and social isolation. I previously had negative impression of telehealth, however it was encouraging to see research that teletherapy can work for certain issues. Good to have specific risks and and benefits outlined.
★★★★★
I enjoyed the online couse since it was very interesting and comprehensive. It was presented nicely and it kept me very interested.
★★★★★
I had never utilized telehealth in for insurance clients in my practice and was concerned about it for my entire practice. I have been excited to read this course and learn some things I was not aware of, ie the way to determine appropriateness of client for telehealth, other platforms and how easy it is to unintentionally cross boundaries. Very glad I took the course.
★★★★★
The team provide CEUs with relevance and in an easy- to- comprehend format that is relevant.
★★★★★
Great information, refreshing casual style of presentation, great support when needed.
★★★★★
I love that the course was easily accessible and convenient. The authors have a legal and practical knowledge base that provides a smooth, confident, and engaging presentation. I love that they share accolades as well as "mistakes" from the past, as an added teaching tool.
★★★★☆
Keep encouraging therapists to make difficult "decisions" about presented vignettes that force us to think about what we would do in similar situations.
Description
3 CEU Hours – Mandatory renewal course* – This newly updated course is a must-read for every therapist who survived COVID and was (or still is) wondering how best to handle the delicate issues of transitioning from in-person psychotherapy to telehealth. This course will help you take a look back and see how teletherapy, which was virtually unheard of before COVID, came to be mainstream in a short period of time.

And what did we learn? You will get handy forms, comparison charts, and real-life examples that will make you both cringe and chuckle, while satisfying your Teletherapy requirements.
Written by Susan McMillan, LMHC, CAP, a Florida therapists initially weary of incoporating technology into her therapy practice, with contributions from former lawyer/judge Matt McMillan, this 3-hour course gives specific guidance on how, when and why you should transition to teletherapy, and what are the implications for the therapeutic relationship. Does teletherapy work as well as in-person therapy and if so, for which disorders? What does it mean to be HIPAA compliant during declared emergencies such as COVID-19? What special forms do I need? Did the government make any special exceptions to the therapy rules for the pandemic?
This course answers all these questions and more. You even get a collection of sample forms including a business association agreement, a teletherapy informed consent, and a comprehensive teletherapy checklist. Plus you get a handy comparison chart of the different telehealth platforms with their respective prices. This course is simply packed full of important legal, ethical, and practical information, with the typical personal touch and occasional humor you have come to expect from Affordable CEUs by Susan McMillan.
*This course is required for renewal every other biennium, alternating with Ethics and Boundaries.
