NEW CONFERENCE WORKSHOP ADDED
D4 - Ethically and Practically Speaking: Managing Your Malpractice Risk as a Social Worker
Presented by: PAUL A. KURZMAN, Ph.D., ACSW
This session, developed especially for social workers, describes the most significant malpractice risks in social work today and numerous methods of mitigating and reducing one’s risk of being sued for malpractice.
The presentation is intended for social workers in all settings and positions, not just the clinical, therapeutic mental health setting. The session will cover key concepts in risk management, such as confidentiality and its exceptions, duty to warn, and informed consent. The seminar will reveal the major reasons why social workers are sued and what you can do about those risks. We will define what constitutes a malpractice case and emphasize important recordkeeping issues, guidelines for supervision, special tips for clinical and private practitioners, and brief you about your malpractice insurance, its special features and implications for your practice.
