Did you know that all current Public Relations and Outreach approved collateral materials, such as brochures and flyers, should always be accessed from the resources webpage on the DBH website?
 
Since phone numbers and addresses change, this page was designed as a centralized library of the most up-to-date materials.
 
Please do not save collateral materials or forms to your desktop or share drive. Instead, bookmark/visit this webpage any time you need to email or print materials for your clinic and/or outreach events. Please do the same for formal documents, such as letterhead, which can be found on the intranet. This will help ensure the correct information is being distributed and expired forms are not being used in error.
 
We also ask that you take a moment to ensure the correct collateral materials are being distributed at your locations. Please discard any old flyers you may have in circulation and/or delete any collateral material files you have saved.
 
Don’t see your program’s collateral material on the resources webpage? Please email it to

Law & Ethics TRAINING

7/13/2020

2 Comments

 
The Department of Behavioral Health invites you to join us for our Law & Ethics training webinar on Tuesday, July 28 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Upon completion of the training, attendees will be able to:

1. Explain the expansion of minor consent laws to include treatment for injuries caused by intimate partner violence, with clarity on what to advise a teenage client who says in therapy that he or she has been injured as a result of such violence, as well as the obligation to report child abuse;

2. Articulate how gaps in state law addressing the involuntary hold processes (5150 patients) create concerns for those involved in the medical clearance step and confusion over the 72 hour clock;

3. Describe how the law has changed regarding an individual’s right to own or purchase a firearm if they have been hospitalized more than once in a 365 day period of time;

4. Explain to teen-aged patients how minor consent law permits them in certain circumstances to consent to their own medical care, including outpatient behavioral health services;

5. Describe how the 2017 regulatory change to SUD confidentiality laws (42 CFR Part 2) impacted what must be on a consent form before Part 2 SUD information can be released to a third party, and how that might change if the August 2019 proposed Final Rule is adopted; and

6. Educate other non-treating provider members of a homeless outreach “high utilizer” multi-disciplinary team the form of patient consent that must be in place before behavioral health providers are permitted to share confidential behavioral health information with other non-treating provider members of the team.
