Master Class: Be Prepared! Records, Processes and Procedures for Play Therapists
Practicing as a Play Therapist is no easy task. You were likely drawn into working with young people because you love children. It all seemed straightforward at first; get specialized training, follow a particular approach, work with families, and follow your professional association's guidelines. All good! But what about your living documents? How much should you include in your notes? What do you do with products made by children? Who is your client? What rights do children have? How do you involve children in the process? How and when do you write a report? What can you do to be prepared in case of a complaint or a call for your file?
Join us for an interactive day on records, processes, and procedures! Bring your forms so that you can share and learn from your colleagues. The day will reflect on the following:
- Record keeping and detail of records
- Defending what you say
- Defining your role
- Use of Self
- Being Descriptive vs. Interpretive
- Clinical Judgement
- Art and Science of Play Therapy- Describing process and Procedure
- Pitfalls and Slippery Slopes
Join the discussion from beginning to end as participants will be invited into special discussions related to confidentiality and ethical considerations. No one has all the answers, but there are some important starting points to consider. It’s never too late to change your documents and templates.
Includes an interview with Professional Liability Lawyer Dana Schindelka. Learn about the top ten errors therapists make and how to avoid the pitfalls!
