Professional Wills
If you were in a car accident this weekend, what would happen to your clients on Monday morning? Would they show up to your office, waiting for you? How would they learn what happened, or when you might be back? None of us likes to think about the possibility of an unexpected illness or emergency, but they happen. A professional will can be the difference between a personal emergency and an emergency that also leads to client abandonment.
This course reviews the need for mental health professionals to have a professional will; ethical standards related to professional wills; necessary components of a professional will; and what to do once you've written your professional will.
