Webinar Description
Are you working with a family involved in a custody case? Have you been asked to serve as an expert witness? Are you worried about being sued?

Many times, these interactions are not voluntary on the part of the mental health professional. As a result, they can be daunting. This course will help prepare mental health professionals with information and skills to competently interface with the legal system, when necessary.
