    1. The data sample of Soulier et al. (36) was limited, in that it included only appellate cases and therefore did not include verdicts in state trial courts that are not appealed or cases settled before trial.

      The data sample of Soulier et al. (36) was limited, in that it included only appellate cases and therefore did not include verdicts in state trial courts that are not appealed or cases settled before trial.

    2. Ultimately, we conclude that the courts converge on three themes of the duty to warn or protect: hold therapists liable only in obvious cases of negligence that result in harm to a victim; recognize when a state has a permissive statute, rather than an obligatory one; and do not hold therapists liable for violence that occurs well after the termination of therapy (37). We note that these narrow interpretations of therapist liability stand in contrast to earlier rulings that ignored the language of the statutes and interpreted broad liability, such as cases in which therapists were held liable for motor vehicle accidents that occurred months after termination of therapy

    3. Mental health professionals were exonerated on the following bases: no imminent threat was communicated to a therapist about an identifiable victim; the victim was already aware of the danger; or the therapist warned the victim, but the victim took actions that went against the warning.

    1. Allowable Uses & Disclosure

      WA HB1287 now broadens this a bit:

      HB 1287 explicitly allows two types of information—previously protected under RCW 18.225.105—to now be disclosed when permitted under Washington’s UHCIA (chapter 70.02 RCW):

      A client’s written acknowledgment of the required disclosure statement (per RCW 18.225.100).

      Any information obtained from a client in the course of rendering professional services.

      Previously, both types of information were categorically protected for providers like mental health counselors, independent clinical social workers, and MFTs. Now they may be disclosed—not broadly, but where UHCIA authorizes the disclosure Washington State Legislature Washington State Legislature .

      1. Clarifying the interplay between behavioral health confidentiality and UHCIA The bill clarifies how RCW 18.225.105’s confidentiality provisions coexist with UHCIA. In practice, this means behavioral health providers can share certain client information—such as coordination notes—with other health professionals or entities as allowed under UHCIA, rather than being strictly prohibited Washington State Legislature Washington State Legislature .

      2. Effective date HB 1287 was signed by the Governor on April 21, 2025.

      It takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the legislative session, specifically: July 27, 2025

    1. “A good example of an intervention is actually a university,” says Saxena. “If 20 to 30 percent of 20,000 students need support and counseling, and potentially less than 20 percent of them are actually receiving it, we need a five-fold increase in support. If a university health department representative wants to expand mental health care, that person can learn to deliver what is needed in a more effective manner

      yes!

    2. It’s about changing the architecture of care by making care accessible in community settings, making care sensitive to personal needs and priorities, and making sure that people with mental health problems have the same rights as others in the community,

      this statement I agree with 100%

    3. scaling up task-sharing to include other community members (like lay people, family members, colleagues, and workplace administrators) is a crucial step

      which would necessitate training and oversight (but I'm not opposed to the concept of 'task-sharing' as I understand it, across professions --but to use a weird analogy, we can't solve the mental health provider crisis by calling everyone a therapist any more than we can solve the national debt by printing off more dollar bills. IMHO.

    4. mild conditions, however, may not need a pricey, in-demand specialist.

      agreed, to an extent. I guess it depends on how the term 'specialist' is conceptualized in this article and beyond.

    5. what most people need are psychological and social interventions that are delivered by non-specialists, people like community health workers, peer support workers, and a range of other general health workers.

      hmmm...or greater numbers of TRAINED professionals. A lot of damage is and has been done by those with limited training who step into mental health care in ways that are beyond their capacity. We can't just solve a problem by lowering professional standards and saying, 'well, actually, anyone can do this' - when there is a lot of evidence that calls for greater caution and safeguards to the public than that.

    1. most faculty prefer

      discrepancy in the report, at least, per the following chart. 46% of instructors prefer digital course materials, and only 34% prefer print materials.

      The student % is higher for digital, but both group's primary preferences are for digital - at least if the graph representation is correct...

    1. Figure 1. Number of active shooter incidents at elementary and secondary schools: 2000 through 2021

      I'm not understanding the discrepancy between these numbers and the numbers on the preceding page. For example: p.4 notes the 'number of school shootings with casualties' range from 11 to 93 per year; yet this figure of 'active shooter incidents' shows a range of 0 to 6. What am I missing here?

    1. And the answer was no.”

      hard to believe. The words of the initiative are one thing (and even those seem to support an answer of yes here rather than no), but it's chilling impact on school systems and educators is another. Time, 'friction,' and liability impacts are clearly underassessed and/or underacknowledged here. Another example of reductionist thinking and reporting (whether intentional or through lack of critical thought).

    1. Gambling losses

      WTF. This is so weird. Why the hell would they allow that as a deduction???? Especially when so many other actual job-related expenses are not allowed at all????

    2. Eligible educator. An eligible educator is a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide in school for at least 900 hours during a school year.

      lordy. No higher ed.

    3. Had allowable business expenses attributable to the performing arts of more than 10% of gross income from the performing arts,

      I don't fully understand this statement yet

    1. When classes are in session, any decision affecting in-person classes and on-campus services and operations because of

      due to the previous framing of 'university-wide modified operations,' I see this as applying toward the entire university. I imagine that it's likely ok to have decisions around evening classes only be made by the instructor/department? Check with JL.

    2. and timing relative to academic and event calendars

      (wx condx and predictions may be different for daytime classes than they are for late afternoon and evening classes)

    1. the value that is most common

      the wording here is a bit misleading; I've never heard the mean described this way before (for good reason - this language typically refers to the mode, not the mean).

    1. or3. have been employed as a full-time doctoral-level faculty member in a CORE-accreditedmaster’s program prior to July 1, 2017; or4. have graduated from a rehabilitation doctoral program prior to January 1, 2018.

      new in 2024

    2. The affiliate faculty designation can include full-time facultyin the counseling program, full-time faculty at the institution but not in thecounseling program, part-time faculty, and adjunct faculty

      "full-time faculty at the institution" - meaning affiliate faculty ARE able to be designated partially to, say, PSYC program, where Core faculty should not be (per advisement from CACREP).

    1. Even if the student’s draft is AI-generated, the feedback they would need to receive and process from their peer would still (hopefully) push them to think about technical communication and storytelling. I would probably want each student to identify for me three important changes they’ll make to their drafts based on the peer feedback. Even if they ask ChatGPT to make those changes, identifying the changes to make is an important step.

    1. structure the requirements for completing the licensure‐or certification‐only programs to meet, at a minimum, the established criteria for obtaining the credentialoffered within the state. In some cases, these requirements may be less than what CACREPrequires in its accreditation standards and in some cases these requirements may exceedCACREP’s requirements.

      in WA State, since CACREP is now the state standard for SC programs, how does this impact the process and the potential to develop cert-only options by programs?

    1. first-class school districts

      Any school district in the state that has a student enrollment in its public schools of two thousand pupils or more, as shown by evidence acceptable to the educational service district superintendent and the superintendent of public instruction, is a school district of the first class. Any other school district is a school district of the second class.

    1. Single line limbs mean that the figure drawing is overly simple and abstract; this characteristic almost exclusively occurs in patients with psychiatric disorders and is a significant predictive feature of disorders such as schizophrenia

      um, but that's how many of us start drawing, doesn't make us schizophrenic. But I can see how it could correlate with weak self-awareness, in a develomental sense.

    2. shaded or blackened persons imply the melancholy and depressed state of the painter

      is this true across cultures and ethnicities? (I'm guessing it wouldn't be)

    1. A school counselor may intend that an exchange with a student in the hallways is counseling, but the judge may or may not rule that privilege applies in that situation.

      2023 Week 4 slide 20: 3 conditions must be in place to fall under statutes: * protected relationship * private setting, where confidentiality could be reasonably expected * not shared

    1. Recipients must create an audio or audiovisual recording, or transcript, of any live hearing and make it available to the parties for inspection and review.

      allows for the parties to review the recordings - but what about others? Privacy concerns. Wondering if institutions have the ability to broaden the scope of who the recordings are made available to - including rules around whether they can make copies of the recordings.

      FIND OUT

    2. (x) Not require, allow, rely upon, or otherwise use questions or evidence that constitute, or seek disclosure of, information protected under a legally recognized privilege,

      are student evaluations considered privileged? If so, SB violated this.

    1. make campuses safer.

      not from students who initiate frivolous, malicious claims in bad faith. The current guidelines are hardly adequate as is, in that regard. Imagine if we applied the proposed changes to courts of law. Tell me there wouldn't be extreme outrage and concern. We are watching the erosion of innocent until proven guilty. And that should deeply concern EVERYONE.

    1. the Title IX regulations issued by then-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

      why is this mentioned so prefunctorily here? The changes, as I understand them, were significant

    1. 1923 book, A Study of American Intelligence,

      "Brigham later repudiated much of his book, doubting the idea that there is universal human intelligence quotient. He also opposed the formation of the Educational Testing Service."

    2. Since their inception almost a century ago, the tests have been instruments of racism and a biased system.

      yes. Interesting reading more about this. Some proponents were hoping to use it for the opposite.

    1. a) provide stability, b) promote change, c) control decision-making, and d) encourage inclusive decision-making

      interesting choices for dimensions; read more on how these were selected as foci

    1. I also realize my life is not going to be affected by their choice

      true, but WTF does that have to do with how you approach providing care for your client? Who's the client here???

      not sure what all this means; read more closely. Are they saying that it was ok to judge Dr. Miller on negligence based on info that was gained (and actions that occurred) after his judgment call back in May??

    1. the Five Factor Wellness Inventory (5F-Wel

      "The 73-item Five Factor Wellness Inventory (5F-WEL) was developed through structural equation modeling. It uses a 4-point Likert scale for responses and a linear transformation to report scores to individuals. The scales are factors, and the items have all been subjected to rigorous testing. The factor scales should be capitalized in publications per the APA Manual. The scales measure the concepts in the empirically-derived Indivisible Self model of wellness." - https://www.csi-net.org/members/group_content_view.asp?group=162835&id=573530

    2. Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle Inventory (WEL)

      "The 123-item Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle Inventory (WEL) was developed from a theoretical model. It uses a 5-point Likert scale for responses and scores are reported as a percentage of 100. It is based in the theoretical Wheel of Wellness model, has never been factor analyzed, and contains a number of items with poor psychometric properties, yet which may be clinically useful with individual clients." -https://www.csi-net.org/members/group_content_view.asp?group=162835&id=573530

    1. that question would be governed by a less demanding legal standard than the one that applies to distinctions based on race.

      really? Limited knowledge of Title IX world seems to indicate otherwise (but that's based on a cursory impression)

    1. The response to low sodium was consistent with sympathetic activation and reduced vagal activity

      in other words, need adequate sodium! Something the MindPump podcast folks have mentioned several times (in relation to the LMNT product they've endorsed)

    1. “Autistic person,”

      again, how does this compare with other aspects of identity and conditions? Black person (accepted by many as ok) schizophrenic person (acknowledged as stigmatizing by most) Ultimately, does it really come down to individual members' preference? I'm thinking so.

    2. When we say “person with autism,” we say that it is unfortunate and an accident that a person is Autistic.

      I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this. When I think of some other 'categories,' I don't think of this the same way as described here. What about our use of 'person of color,' for example? That's not seen as demeaning, to my knowledge. Would 'person of autism' be more welcomed, as a corollary, or...?

    1. When referring students to non-school-counseling credential staff, school counselors inform students and families of these staff members’ role within the school.

      assuming this is true for conditional/emergency certified school counselors as well?

    1. Knowing more doesn’t make people less biased: Everyone’s equally biased.

      this is not very accurate based on the data (at least the equally part - and directionality is another thing that I think this article seems to misrepresent. The data and models don't show universal overconfidence; upper quartile demonstrates underconfidence, no?)

    1. counselors who hold teaching licenses are less effective in terms of rates of high-school graduation than their peers without a license.

      is this from this particular research study, or referencing other studies (or both)?

    1. measures you have recommended tomitigate potential risk

      this statement is consistent with Eric.S. guidance in recent workshops. CAN involve warning, but the duty by law is to 'act reasonably' - can be up to and through breaching confidentiality and directly warning foreseeable and identifiable victims

  27. Nov 2022
    1. a licensed counselor or associate shall never

      this is stricter than ACA Code of Ethics (which says at least 5y) and as such, supercedes it. Per E.S. 9-2022
