Description

Learn from CAMFT's expert attorneys in a Law and Ethics webinar series to support your practice.

Children are cute, but the issues you often face in their treatment can be complex. In this three-hour CE course, CAMFT attorney Kristin Roscoe will use the story of 13-year-old “Jack” to guide attendees through common legal and ethical issues a therapist might reasonably encounter when working with a child. From consent to treatment, mandated reporting, writing letters, to court involvement, attendees will learn how to spot areas of liability and best proceed to support the treatment of minors.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify who may consent to the treatment of a minor and understand the particulars of a minor being able to consent to their own treatment.
Distinguish when some common mandated reporting scenarios may be permissive rather than mandatory.
Understand the legal and ethical risks associated with writing letters, particularly when there is court involvement.
Understand the psychotherapist-patient privilege and how best to support minor patients during custody or guardianship legal proceedings.

Presenter

Kristin Roscoe, Esq., CAMFT Staff Attorney takes CAMFT member phone calls regarding law and ethics issues and contributes articles on those subjects to CAMFT's publication, the Therapist. Prior to joining CAMFT’s legal team in 2019, Kristin represented healthcare professionals and hospitals in medical malpractice litigation at La Follette, Johnson, DeHaas, Fesler & Ames. Since entering the legal profession, Kristin has worked in various capacities presenting to and advocating on behalf of her clients both in and outside of the courtroom.

Therapist Corner - June 2026 (28 Jun 2026)

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:00:00 GMT

Therapist Corner

formerly known as Allied Intersectionality Now

Being a therapist is deeply rewarding, and especially right now deeply demanding. Therapist corner is a moment designed just for us: a place to breathe, connect, and take care of ourselves the way we take care of everyone else.

Here at this monthly gathering we can talk about whatever we need to talk about - the weight of this moment, showing up for our clients while carrying our own emotional load through such a difficult political climate, sharing what’s working…and what isn’t, and reminding ourselves that we are not alone.

This is also a space for genuine community. There is real strength in diversity and here we lean into it together. The spirit of intersectionality we hold that we come to this work from different walks of life – different races, classes, genders, and sexual orientations, and these shape us both professionally and personally.

Therapist Corner will be moderated by members of the Board of Directors of our chapter, CAMFT San Diego, and this is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts and requests.

If you're interested in attending and not a member of our chapter, become a member here!
