- Florida Law for the Social Worker, Mental Health Counselor, and Marriage and Family Therapist 5The Florida Statutes are state laws that are arranged by titles, chapters, parts, and sections. They are considered permanent but are reviewed and updated annually and may be amended, altered, or repealed. The professions and practices of social work, mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy are addressed in numerous Florida laws, and many updates to the laws involve the inclusion of social workers, mental health counselors, and marriage and family therapists for implementation. This situation mirrors aspects of the Affordable Care Act, which defines the important role of these professions in Accountable Care Organizations, and the HEARTH Act Continuum of Care.

The first section describes the severity of the problem of medical error in the U.S. and outlines the evolution of the patient safety movement. The second section introduces concepts from human factors research that are essential to understanding the complexity of patient safety, and also outlines the importance of a culture of safety. The third section presents three basic strategies to reduce harm: Safety briefings, root cause analysis, and full disclosure. A fourth section addresses three error-prone situations that are common in behavioral health settings: Inadequate assessment of suicide risk, failure to comply with mandatory reporting laws, and failure to detect medical conditions that have psychological symptoms. The final section describes the psychosocial needs of survivors of medical error and their families. This course is intended for social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and advanced practice and psychiatric nurses. - Major Depressive Disorder in Adults: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment Strategies 3
Course Release: 01/8/2024
About the course
This basic-level course aims to educate social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychologists about major depressive disorder and its distinctions. This course provides necessary information about major depressive disorder, including the epidemiology of major depressive disorder, signs and symptoms in adults (with a very brief overview of major depression in children and adolescents), causal and influential factors, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, relapse prevention, and outcomes evaluation.
- Suicide Risk in Adults: Assessment and Intervention, 2nd Edition 3Course Release Date: 5/10/22
About the Course
The purpose of this course is to assist clinicians in understanding factors that contribute to suicidal behavior, conducting comprehensive suicide risk assessments, and engaging patients in brief, empirically-supported interventions to reduce risk of death. This course meets an increasing demand of many mental health professionals seeking information about working with suicidal clients and conducting empirically-supported suicide risk assessments. This intermediate-level course is designed for social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, educators, community-based program administrators, providers, and psychologists. The course will cover major risk factors, demographics and warning signs for suicidal behavior, as well as provide guidance on clinical risk assessment and options for intervention. Although the information presented here is useful to many mental health providers, no continuing education course can provide all the information that may be required in working with each individual who comes for help. It is therefore important that mental health providers consult knowledgeable colleagues, review the most recent articles and books on the topic of suicide, read and understand the risk-management practices of their agency, and maintain awareness of applicable local and state laws concerning the management and referral of suicidal persons. References and resources for those interested in pursuing further education on this topic are provided at the end of the course.
