SKOKIE: Skyway Guest Presentation: When Outpatient Care Isn't Enough
About this Event
Skyway CEU Series Guest Presentation
Join us in person for an insightful session: When Outpatient Care Isn't Enough: Ethical Decision Making Across the Continuum of Care.
Participants will learn to:
● Identify clinical and behavioral indicators that ethically obligate consideration of a higher level of care, including risks related to safety, stabilization, and the limits of outpatient treatment.
● Differentiate among levels of care (IOP, PHP, residential, inpatient) and describe the core clinical functions, treatment goals, and ethical fit of each level.
● Describe at least three common ethical and emotional barriers (e.g., fear of abandonment, countertransference, rescue fantasies, financial or systemic pressures) that interfere with timely step-up decisions, and apply strategies to navigate them responsibly.
● Apply an ethical decision-making framework to assess acuity, determine when outpatient care is no longer sufficient, and support sound clinical judgment through consultation and documentation.
● Demonstrate ethically sound, compassionate referral language that engages clients collaboratively while maintaining therapeutic boundaries, informed consent, and professional responsibility.
