Concurrent Sessions Building Skills in Technology-Assisted Care Sessions

Breakout sessions are scheduled to repeat twice to allow participants to attend two of the four concurrent sessions to ensure exposure to all of the valuable skills-building sessions.

Session A

Delaware Ballroom 1

Email, Texting, and Security for Clinicians: A Client-Centered, HIPAA-Compliant, and Collaborative Approach

Roy Huggins, LPC, NCC, Director, Person-Centered Tech In a society where texting is often preferred over phone calls, clinicians must know how to navigate communications technology in ways that affirm therapeutic goals while maintaining secure and ethical practice. However, the information clinicians receive about HIPAA is often jumbled and, on occasion, incorrect. Mr. Huggins will orient clinicians to the essential, HIPAA-mandated decisionmaking lens of security risk management and relate that lens to the risk management processes already used in clinical practice (e.g., self -harm risk assessments). He will then use that lens to empower clinicians and clients to use modern communications technology in ways that are both therapy-affirming and prudent in regards to clients’ safety and therapists’ boundaries, and cover the most essential “security soft skills” clinicians need to tackle texting and email in professional practice.

Session B

Delaware Ballroom 2

Using Video-Conferencing: Hands-On Practice Experience Dianne Clarke, PhD, Executive Director and COO, Operation Par

Sandnes Boulanger, BA, MSW, Clinical Director, Operation Par Behavioral telehealth and recovery supports can help addiction treatment counselors expand services and improve outcomes. These types of services are a new medium that require specific training and supervision for best quality of care. Dr. Clarke and Ms. Boulanger will provide an overview of a twenty hour credentialing curriculum in Florida that covers topics essential to practicing in an online environment, including a hands-on demonstration of how web-based videoconferencing can easily be infused into clinical practice.

Session C

Delaware Ballroom 3

Exploring Ethical Dilemmas with Digital Health Technologies Paul Warren, BFA, MSW, Deputy Executive Director, NDRI-USA Training Institute

Gary Wareham, MA, LAC, LPC, Staff Development and Education Manager, Arapahoe House Today’s ethical dilemmas require preemptive planning and the conscious use of ethical decision models.

Session D
