LA-CAMFT 2023 Teletherapy Workshop:
Basic Competencies in Telehealth
Linda J. Hoffman, PsyD
New Law AB 1759 goes into effect on July 1, 2023. It requires all licensed therapists applying for license renewal and associates who are applying to take the licensing exam to have 3 hours of training in the delivery of mental health services via telehealth, including law and ethics. Read more about the new law here: https://www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/ab_1759_faq_telehealth.pdf.
This presentation meets the BBS requirement and covers basic competencies in the provision of mental health services via telehealth. Competencies being addressed include, but are not limited to: legal and ethical standards (including jurisdictional issues and HIPAA requirements), risks and benefits, informed consent, communication and safety issues, research on effectiveness, assessing clients for appropriateness, and common video presentation issues.
Educational Goal: To prepare psychotherapists to respond to and manage the legal, ethical, clinical, and technical issues associated with the provision of psychotherapy via telehealth. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the legal and ethical issues associated with providing psychotherapy in jurisdictions outside their State(s) of licensure.
- Articulate informed consent standards related to telehealth.
- Summarize communication and safety issues that may arise in a telehealth setting.
- Determine how to assess the appropriateness of telehealth for clients.
- Solve common video presentation issues.
