Class 1

Schoolhouse Rights: Exploring Rights of Students, Parents, and Teachers

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” Justice Abe Fortas in Tinker v. Des Moines, USSC 393 U.S. 503 (1969)

What happens at schools has long been a source of controversy in America: Armbands to protest the Vietnam War. Drug testing of student-athletes. Affirmative Action. Banning books. And so much more... Mental and behavioral health professionals should adhere to an ethical principle of challenging injustice. We all should know the legal and ethical issues that define controversy in school policy, so that we can be effective advocates for justice. This workshop explores the rights of students, their parents, and teachers/school administrators through an examination of international, federal, state and local law. Tools for proactive and responsive policy advocate are provided and exercised.

Class 2

Protecting Children & Supporting Families: The Ethical Realities of Reporting Suspicions of Child Maltreatment

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

Mental and Behavioral Health Professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment. However, our legal requirement to report is often confusing to navigate in relation to our other professional and ethical responsibilities. This workshop is intended for mental and behavioral health who already have a basic understanding of their  obligations as mandated reporters, and want to explore areas that are complicated by our  professional relationships with clients in light of our legal obligations. Specifically, we will explore informed consent practices with different client populations, supporting practice with  clients after making a report, and how to work with child protective services, especially in light  of concerns for racial and social justice in the child welfare system.
