The delivery of telehealth services to system involved youth and families has greatly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now here to stay. Unfortunately, many service providers have not kept up with all legal, ethical, and clinical issues surrounding the use of telehealth. This class will examine confidentiality, record keeping and boundary controversies that arise with online services. This workshop will address therapist competency, working across state lines, expectations of privacy when working online, required informed consent, record keeping, and reputation protection. Literature updates, expert opinion, and relevant ethics codes will be discussed
