 You worked really hard to get your license...all those courses, the exam, all those unpaid hours. Now your task is to protect yourself!  Do not risk losing your license, or your home and possessions, by violating legal and ethical codes.

Warning! This course is a fast, efficient way to find out how to protect your license. But it may make you anxious, and make you reconsider aspects of your clinical practice. This is the "Scared Straight" of ethics courses.  (It made people so anxious that we had to change the name of the course from 29 ways to lose your license to 29 ways to PROTECT your license because everyone was freaking out...)

Scared, however, is good, because it will protect your license and livelihood.

However good it is to be Scared, it is better to take action to protect your license and livelihood.

It is our hope that taking this course will help you become a better clinician; more thoughtful , more mindful, more protective, of ourselves and our clients.
