| This Half-Day Seminar provides a brief introduction to online counselling and therapy as a rapidly expanding scope of practice within the mental health professions. Participants can expect a synoptic overview of current developments in online mental health services, coverage of legal, ethical and security/privacy issues relating to the provision of online services locally and globally, and a group learning exercise in email based counselling/therapy. As a short seminar, this does not prepare the participant to set up and deliver online services, but serves to introduce some of the main issues related to this emergent scope of practice, and to suggest possibilities for the development of such services in New Zealand. It is a ‘lite’ version of the week-long ABACUS Counselling, Training and Supervision Ltd workshop between 14-18 November. |
