Description

5 ethical traps in case closures to avoid
Closing therapy for high-risk cases including self-harming clients
Documentation and referral dos and don’ts
File storage and destruction following HIPAA
PLUS termination scripts, letter samples, and much more!

There are so many things you need to get right when it comes to termination.

Handling the doorknob disclosures. Reviewing progress in a way that connects. Making sure high-risk clients transition safely and with a solid plan. Retaining records by the books.

Without a plan, it can be overwhelming to track everything and do it all well – and that does a disservice to the good work accomplished during therapy.

This workshop with Margaret Wehrenberg, PsyD and Lynn Grodski, LCSW, MCC – renowned experts and co-authors of Letting Go of the Work You Love – gives you a framework for ethical terminations.

Learn how to close cases responsibly and effectively so you can shape final sessions that are both meaningful and essential to the healing process – whether termination was planned or abrupt. You’ll get:

Case-closing and documentation practices designed to support professional ethical standards and limit liability
A structured, multi-step process to create a termination strategy that aligns with your therapeutic approach
Tools for dealing with loss, guilt, and other attachment issues in both client and therapist

PURCHASE TODAY to boost your confidence in navigating this vital phase of therapy.
