OATSA Fall 2017 Workshop with W. Warren H. Binford & Roy Huggins, LPC, NCC

Topics 1 & 2:

1: Interfacing Law, Neuroscience and Genetics to Support Child Sex Abuse Victims

2: Sex, Porn, and Manhood

Speaker: W. Warren H. Binford

Professor Binford will be offering two sessions at our workshop. The first, "Interfacing Law, Neuroscience & Genetics," considers the research gap in understanding the possible biomarkers in childhood sexual abuse and the role that identifying those biomarkers could play in developing more effective legal remedies for those who suffer childhood sexual abuse. The second session, "Sex, Porn & Manhood," considers the emerging research on the impact of widespread exposure to pornography on young males and females and whether society's failure to limit access to pornography constitutes a violation of their rights under international law.

Topic 3:

Digital Ethics

Speaker: Roy Huggins, LPC, NCC

Mental health clinicians work to foster health in our clients wherever they are in the process, and we need the correct tools to help us do that. Myths abound about legally and ethically appropriate ways to meet client desires for email, texting and online video. We hear about the growing pressure to switch to electronic records and many of us already see the value in paperless practices. This training will take attendees from an exploration to our relationships with technology and "digital confidentiality," through how to appropriately use that technology in our practices ethically and in compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. Go beyond the HIPAA checklists and join a technologist/professional counselor to learn realistic, non-fear based rules of HIPAA compliance, ethics of technology, and how we use technology to help clients and ourselves.
