A COLLABORATIVE PRESENTATION WITH REIMAGINE HEALTHCARE COLLECTIVE
<a href="https://www.zurinstitute.com/course-completion-ce-info-ns/">Course completion &amp; CE info</a>
Those working in healthcare often find themselves in conflicted, and at times, compromised situations. Too often the institutional demands are at odds with one’s values and vision of what healthcare could be, leading to burnout, cynicism, or working just to get through the most immediate task at hand.
It’s easy to consider “that’s just the way it is”. But is it? Is there room for input to be heard, for creative approaches?
Join us for this collaborative series to learn more about the nature of Moral Distress. Put a name to what you’ve been experiencing. Share with colleagues collective experiences. And more importantly brainstorm and discover strategies for healthier approaches to your work.
If you’ve experienced this, join us in this three-part CE series tailored for nurses, medical, and mental health professionals.
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Gain a deeper understanding of how these conflicts contribute to moral injury.</li>
<li>Learn from expert insights and case examples.</li>

Navigating Moral Distress for Healthcare Workers

Navigating Moral Distress for Healthcare Workers: You Are Not Alone

How would you feel if a health plan asked to see your notes? For most therapists, this would bring a wave of anxiety. Yet every day, healthcare professionals nationwide — including out-of-network therapists— are facing these requests, and being asked to provide documentation to back up billing. Yes, even the notes of out-of-network therapists are subject to review whenever a statement/superbill is submitted to a plan, and it is happening more frequently.
While some audits are purely administrative, others can lead to costly claim denials or repayment requests – also known as “clawbacks.” You (or your clients) can lose thousands of dollars in unreimbursed claims.
In this webinar, we take a closer look at the reasons your notes might be requested by a health plan, how to respond if they are requested, and what you can do now to avoid any loss of income.
Topics include:
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>What is an audit, and how is it different than a treatment review?</li>
<li>Why you might be chosen for an audit: Key Audit Triggers</li>
<li>The scary new trend: Pre-Payment and Post-Payment Audits and &#8220;clawbacks&#8221;</li>
<li>What you should know about Risk-Adjustment Audits (Datavant, Inovalon, Datafied etc.)</li>
<li>What are the plans looking for in your notes?</li>
<li>If your notes are requested, what should you do?</li>
<li>The most common reasons the plan might not pay for sessions</li>
<li>What can you do now to get your notes in order?</li>
</ul>
PLUS! FREE DOWNLOADS: You&#8217;ll get 2 downloadable Treatment Record Checklists used by OPTUM/United Health Plan and Aetna when auditing your documentation.
Note: We will only be discussing record requests from insurance plans, not from courts.

The importance of mental health services for those with complex medical conditions, while recognized, often takes a back seat in the medical decision-making process. While we are uniquely qualified to add perspectives crucial to patient well-being, providers need to be creative and, at times assertive in communicating concerns that are often not evident to medical personnel.  Our responsibilities may also involve incorporating the needs of families, friends, social services, and medication management into the treatment plan.
Using a case presentation, Dr. Richard LaBrie will describe ways to skillfully and effectively work within the medical system in a manner that optimally benefits our patients. He will discuss the importance of staying within the scope of one’s professional practice while asserting one’s professional standing. Dr. LaBrie will provide insights into how to both advocate for, and provide treatment to, patients undergoing intensive medical treatment.  He will address strategies for communicating to physicians and associated medical staff.
This presentation will be interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions to be raised and concerns discussed.

DESCRIPTION: 
Psychotherapy with individuals or couples is extremely difficult—more difficult, in fact, than any one of us can completely understand.
In this webinar, Marty distills 44 years of clinical experience—some 50,000 sessions—into a practical, challenging program about common mistakes that therapists of all orientations make. Those mistakes involve the structure of the therapeutic relationship; the routine ways in which therapists practice; and vulnerabilities in the person of the therapist.
With compassion, wisdom, and his well-known humor, Marty will address issues including:
~ Self-disclosure: Too much? Too little?
~ Ethical dilemmas our field generally ignores
~ Power dynamics between therapist and patient
~ Consulting with physicians, therapists, lawyers, and other providers
~ Facing our difficulty tolerating patients&#8217; discomfort
~ Homework that can undermine therapy
~ Asking about medication, pain, and other health issues
~ Why it’s important to understand just how difficult this work is
Valuable for mid-career clinicians as well as less-experienced professionals, this just may be the most practical Dr. Klein webinar we’ve ever offered.

20 Common Mistakes Most Therapists Make 

20 Common Mistakes Most Therapists Make — And What You Should Do Instead

<a href="https://www.zurinstitute.com/course-completion-ce-info-ns/">Course completion &amp; CE info</a>
DESCRIPTION: 
Most therapists get very little training in sexuality. The public would be quite surprised, for example, that a counselor can get licensed without hearing the words vibrator, infidelity, prostate, or cunnilingus during their education.
Without specialized training, clinicians are left to rely on personal experience (which may not be so great), religious beliefs (which may not match our clients’), or the ideas of popular culture. And so most therapists base their interventions regarding sexuality on stereotypes, distortions, and factual errors without knowing it.
In this fast-paced webinar, award-winning sex therapist Dr. Marty Klein will highlight the most common myths therapists have about sexuality—that is, common sources of clinical errors. You may be surprised to learn, for example, that:
~ Preferences for kinky sex are sometimes wholesome and healthy, and sometimes an expression of emotional pathology.
~ Pornography is rarely the actual subject when couples are in conflict about pornography.
~ In roughly half of all heterosexual cases of desire discrepancy, the higher desire partner is female.
~ In cases of infidelity, requiring the Betrayer to disclose every last detail of the affair can destroy the primary relationship.
~ The solution for couples’ sexual dissatisfaction is rarely better erections, orgasm, or desire—even though that’s what couples routinely ask for.
In cases involving intimacy, power struggles, self-esteem, body image, and infidelity, sexuality is typically an issue. It’s crucial to approach these cases with accurate information, free from popular myths and cultural bias. This fast-paced webinar will challenge the way you’ve been dealing with sexual issues—and inspire you to discover and critique beliefs you didn’t even realize you had.

Sexuality: Common Myths That Undermine Treatment

NON-CE EVENT
Free with Membership
DESCRIPTION: Ozempic and related drugs now help people lose up to 20% of their body weight  with generally manageable side effects. As the price of these drugs drops, even more of our patients will take them.
How are these drugs (GLP-1 agonists) affecting couples and families? What about the self-image, decision-making, and sexual choices of individuals who finally lose weight after years of struggle and failure? How are the mates, children, friends, and co-workers responding to familiar people with suddenly unfamiliar bodies? And how are these slimmer people responding to others’ responses to them?
Not every newly-slim person will revel in the new attention they get at work. Not every couple will easily navigate the de-centering of food in one partner’s life. Not every lifelong-shy person will feel comfortable with the increased encouragement to socialize. Not every marriage will enjoy the melting away of one newly-slim partner’s sexual inhibitions. Not every newly-slim parent will know how to deal with their teenagers’ envy or insecurity. And not every newly-slim person will feel comfortable admitting how they’ve lost all that weight. And what about the loss of identity?
Therapists and healthcare professionals need to address the emotional and systemic effects of these new weight-loss drugs. Rather than waiting for patients to raise these issues, we must be prepared to ask lots of questions about their challenges.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.

DESCRIPTION:
If you avoid writing treatment plans, you aren’t alone. In one survey, 63% of psychotherapists reported they did not write treatment plans on all clients. Many stated they just didn’t have the time, or didn’t see them as helpful.
Yet treatment plans are required by insurance plans, ethics codes, and many state laws. Without an appropriate written treatment plan, you (or your client) may not be reimbursed by a health plan &#8212; or may be asked to pay money back. You could also be cited by a licensing or ethics board. Plus, a treatment plan can protect both you and your clients, ensuring all parties have a clear understanding of the goals and progress being made.
This webinar will address how to write a brief treatment plan that fulfills the expectations of insurance, ethics boards, licensing boards, and other oversight agencies.
Time permitting, we will address:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How a treatment plan is different than a progress note</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>Shortcuts to make plans quick — but not “cookie cutter”</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to choose goals — and which goals to avoid</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to write goals that meet Medical Necessity Criteria</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How objectives differ from goals</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to choose and describe your interventions</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to update treatment plans — and how often to do it</li>
<li>Lots of sample treatment plans!</li>
</ul>
FREE DOWNLOADS: Best of all, participants will be given two downloadable sample treatment plans, plus a blank template you can use in your practice immediately. You will also get a list of sample interventions, and sample goals for children and adolescents.
The training is aimed at a nationwide audience. It is appropriate for introductory or veteran psychotherapists, supervisors, practice managers, students, or counselors-in-training, regardless of experience level or practice setting.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

How to Write a 10-Minute Treatment Plan

DESCRIPTION: Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D that views a person as composed of various &#8220;parts&#8221; or sub-personalities, each with its own perspectives, memories, and roles. These parts can be thought of as an internal family, with some parts taking on managerial roles to protect the individual, while others hold onto pain and trauma. The core concept in IFS is the &#8220;Self,&#8221; which is seen as the compassionate, calm, and wise center of a person. The aim of IFS therapy is to foster a healthier relationship between the Self and the parts, promoting understanding and healing.
In this upcoming, live interactive webinar, you will learn an introduction to the model of Internal Family Systems. This will include an overview of the framework of this model, the basic assumptions of IFS, and the goals of IFS therapy. A demonstration of certain aspects of the model will be included.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
