Navigating Confidentiality & Legal Risks (3 CE Hours)

This three-module ethics course provides Kansas Licensed Master's Addiction Counselors (LMACs) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselors (LCACs) with a rigorous examination of the statutory and ethical frameworks governing client privacy. Participants will dissect the intersections of 42 CFR Part 2, HIPAA, and Kansas-specific statutes (K.S.A. 65-6617), navigating the delicate balance between protecting client confidentiality and managing permitted disclosures when a client poses a serious threat. The course addresses modern ethical frontiers, including telehealth compliance, digital record security, and managing dual relationships in rural communities. Grounded in cultural humility, this training equips counselors to apply ethical decision-making models to real-world dilemmas, ensuring license protection and the delivery of safe, competent care. Upon successful completion of the post-test, hours are reported directly to CE Broker.
