  The Legally Required "What If" Plan: Your comprehensive guide to maintaining a Legal Custodian of Records 

  Live on ZOOM! 

  Did you know that every clinician, even those in private practice, is required, by law, to have an identified Custodian of Records? Do you have a practice policy that outlines how your clients will continue to be served if you experience an unexpected medical emergency? Does your private practice meet the legal requirements for continuity of care? Many LMHCs are not aware of the state regulations and ethical codes of conduct which mandate these orders. If your practice is lacking these vital elements, this working workshop will help you fulfill your legal and client responsibilities to manage unforeseen clinician misfortune proactively. 

  As a working workshop, we will review and create a step-by-step plan of action to fulfill this legal responsibility for regulatory compliance in your private practice. This "what if" workshop will give you the peace of mind that you, and your clients, never knew you legally needed.

  This workshop is for anyone in or planning to open a private practice.  Originally developed by our Founder, Berna Haberman, LMHC #1, and revised and updated by our presenter, Stacey E. Pimentel, LMHC, MACCS, this is an invaluable workshop, one that supports risk management.

  Presenter: Stacey E. Pimentel, LMHC, MACCS

  Considerations for the

  Process of Termination

  This workshop will be LIVE ON ZOOM

  This workshop will offer a space for participants to reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences surrounding the process of termination within the therapeutic relationship. We will offer considerations for you as you create or fine-tune your own routines and boundaries to support the ending of a therapy experience with a client, in a culturally sensitive, developmentally appropriate, and relationally based manner.

  This presentation will be a combination of lecture and individual / small group reflective work. We will include opportunities for individuals to share their own rituals surrounding goodbyes and to consider ways in which they can honor their clients' cultural backgrounds and developmental needs during the process of termination.
  

  Learning Goals:

  1 - Define your own thoughts, feelings, and boundaries regarding the process of saying goodbye to clients, including how this may have changed during the course of your career

  2 - Identify cultural, developmental, and relational factors to consider when supporting client termination

  3 - Choose appropriate strategies to support yourself and your clients during termination of treatment

  MaMHCA Supervision Track

  Spatial-Visual Supervision

  Most Clinical Supervision is conducted via verbal presentation by the clinician (occasionally with videotaped recordings) and subsequent verbal feedback from the supervisor. By contrast, the methods learned in this highly interactive workshop make use of the selection, placement, and movement of table-top figurines, offering many of the benefits of sand tray therapy, but with the additional advantages of hypothesis formulation and testing. Two volunteer online participants may each present a supervision case; volunteers prepare for this workshop by writing both a one-paragraph case summary (focusing on the client-therapist system) and a one-paragraph description of salient supervision dynamics (focusing on the therapist-supervisor system). The techniques demonstrated are useful in the supervision of individual, couple, and family therapy cases across diverse theoretical orientations.

  This workshop is approved to fulfill the initial or renewal requirements for the MaMHCA Advanced Certified Clinical Supervisor Credential (MACCS).

  MaMHCA Supervisor Training Programs Mission Statement 

  The Mission of the MaMHCA Supervision Training Programs is to provide the highest quality training in supervision theory and practice for LMHC Supervisors. Both the MaMHCA Approved Supervisor Certificate (MaASC) and the advanced MaMHCA Certified Clinical Supervisor (MaCCS) programs will offer continuing education in theory and practice in supervision skills, national and Massachusetts ethical & legal standards for supervision, and the ongoing growth and evolution/development of knowledge, roles and requirements for qualified supervisors.

  Certificate holders will also demonstrate the ability to model appropriate professional skills and behavior, ethical standards, and the ability to actively use concepts learned in the training.

  Climbing the Symbolic Ladder

  Live in Foxboro

  If you take a course on child development, you will learn all of the stages of development and expected milestones including skills in social emotional learning. However, many children who enter play therapy arrive with developmental differences that impact the child's ability to make progress. Any child with any developmental presentation can benefit from support in developing skills to ‘climb the ladder’ to achieve a new stage of function in self-regulation and social interaction. By focusing on chains of attuned interaction, the play therapist and caregiver support the child in reaching higher order symbolic thinking and relating (Wieder & Greenspan, 2003). In this workshop, participants will learn application of principles of the DIR®/Floortime framework to play therapy through reflection, role play, and case discussion.
  

  Presenter: Denise Galford-Koeppel

  Presenter is a registered play therapy with experience working with children as young as infants and toddlers. Presenter has experience with children with learning differences as is a certified intermediary provider of DIR®/Floortime
