August 3, 2010 | 3:00 PM | LE Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center, Chippewa Falls
$0 - Registration is not required.

The L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center, Chippewa Falls, will present the free community education program, “Breaking Confidentiality: Mandated Reporting and the Tarasoff Rule,” from 3 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 3, at the Treatment Center. Presenting the program will be Darci Miland, a UW-Stout graduate student in counseling and intern at the Trempealeau County Health Care Center, and Catya von Karolyi, Ph.D., the associate professor of Educational Psychology and Human Development at UW-Eau Claire.

Members of the helping professions are often trusted with confidential information that their clients would not want disclosed to others. It is important for professionals to know and understand what types of information need to be disclosed to supervisors and/or appropriate protective service agencies. The expectations of mandated reporting and the Tarasoff Rule (“duty to warn”) will be discussed.

Certificates of attendance will be provided at the end of the session.

The L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center of St. Joseph’s Hospital provides free monthly, ongoing education and support programs as a community service to the public and professionals. The Treatment Center provides outpatient mental health testing, evaluation and consultation as well as treatment for alcohol and drug abuse.
