The Peer Professional: Ethical and Legal Responsibilities for the Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS) in Florda (4 CE Hours)
Confidentiality Framework: Differentiating between the legal protections of HIPAA and the strict requirements of 42 CFR Part 2 for SUD records, and understanding the impact of the 2024 Final Rule on sharing records for integrated care.
Mandatory Reporting: Applying Florida Statutes that legally require the CRPS to report suspected child abuse/neglect and vulnerable adult abuse/exploitation, which supersedes confidentiality rules
Boundary Integrity: Maintaining a non-clinical Scope of Practice, avoiding strictly prohibited dual relationships (financial/sexual), and using self-disclosure ethically (Relevant, Brief, Purposeful)
