California Law and Ethics for BBS Associates is a three-hour, text-based home study course designed for associate marriage and family therapists, associate clinical social workers, and associate professional clinical counselors who complete the Board of Behavioral Sciences requirement of three hours of California law and ethics during each registration renewal period. The course covers registration and renewal, scope of practice, disclosure of associate status, employment and fee rules, supervision units and logs, advertising, telehealth, and discipline. It then addresses confidentiality, privilege, and client records, followed by mandated reporting of child, elder, and dependent adult abuse, the duty to protect, firearms reporting, and suicide risk, all from the associate's perspective.
