Event Details

Therapists and social workers frequently work with clients who are prescribed psychotropic medications, including those taking multiple medications with varying levels of benefit and risk. While non-prescribing clinicians do not manage medications directly, they are often in a key position to observe how medications impact client functioning and to support treatment coordination. This 1-hour clinical training introduces the concept of deprescribing and examines its relevance within behavioral health care. Participants will learn to recognize potential medication-related concerns, including side effects, adherence challenges, and prescribing cascades. The course will also clarify the scope of practice for therapists in medication-related discussions and outline strategies for ethically supporting client advocacy and interdisciplinary collaboration. Content is designed to enhance clinical awareness and communication skills while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
