TeleMental Health Supervision
This 3-hour continuing education course is designed specifically for licensed mental health professionals who provide clinical supervision via telehealth platforms in Georgia. Georgia Composite Board Rule 135-11 imposes distinct requirements on supervisors that go beyond the six hours required of all telehealth practitioners, including an additional three hours of supervisor-specific telehealth training, dual consent requirements with supervisees, and adherence to the supervisory provisions of Board Rule 135-5. This course provides a comprehensive examination of those supervisor-specific obligations, the ethical dimensions of virtual supervision, and evidence-based risk management strategies for telehealth supervision environments.
