Risk Management: Identifying Your Client
It can be challenging for counselors to identify who the client is, especially when counseling couples and families. In their 2019 claim report, HPSO stated that failure to clearly define the identified “client” within a couple or group demonstrated an average expense of $5,440. The same report stated that failure to clarify the nature of the relationships the counselor will have with each involved person represented an average expense of $8,853. This educational content, sponsored by HPSO, provides counselors with risk management practices to identify their clients.

Eyes Wide Open: Ethics, Risk Management, and Legal Considerations
Ethics in practice should be second nature. However, ethical dilemmas are sometimes difficult to identify in advance, leaving the most well-meaning counselors in compromising situations, ranging from licensing board complaints to malpractice. This session will include a discussion of some of the most common ethical conundrums, how to recognize them and associated risks. This session will also introduce important legal concepts and why being familiar with them is an essential piece of risk management.
