Course Description: Learn about liability insurance from an insurance agent turned mental health clinician. There is a difference between an ethical violation and a malpractice claim. However, as mental health clinicians we have potential exposure to both at the same time. Do you have enough coverage for the wide variety of potential claims you could experience? Are you prepared to defend your license? What do the different types of liability coverages (e.g., general, professional, cyber) mean? Who needs to have which type(s) of liability coverage?

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain at least five statistics related to the Counselor Professional Liability Exposure Claim Report: 3rd Edition
  • Compare and contrast around four types of liability for mental health clinicians
  • Understand about seven key terms related to liability insurance for mental health clinicians
