About this webinar
Counseling in todays digital world requires sophistication, awareness, and appropriate resources. Counselors often have questions about where to store sensitive information, which platforms are the most private, and how to safeguard files virtually. For professionals working across borders or in international settings, the answers to these questions are often unclear or inconsistent. This workshop will demystify the essentials of digital ethics, equipping you with practical guidance on documentation, storage, telehealth platforms, and confidentiality—so you can uphold the highest ethical standards, no matter where you practice.
