Good morning, fellow clinicians. We’ve seen your questions on social media, and we’ve heard the whispers in our office, too:

How do I handle the COVID-19 outbreak and still support my clients? When is it time to close our doors, and is doing online therapy an option?

We’re concerned, too… we’re having the same conversation in our offices about the COVID-19 pandemic. To help you navigate these uncertain times, Beth Irias, our founder, has been working double-time with our board to get a couple of free podcast interview Continuing Ed courses out to you ASAP:

• Making Sense of the Pandemic: Psychological Impact on Clients and Communities featuring Dr. Baruch Fischhoff

• Swiftly Transitioning to Online Therapy, Ethically and Legally featuring Dr. Amber Lyda

We plan to release these courses on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020. To be alerted when they come out, we recommend subscribing to our podcast, which you can access here:

Apple Podcasts: Light Up The Couch

Google Play: Light Up The Couch

The podcast is also available on any number of other podcast platforms, like Stitcher, iHeart, and many others… just search for Clearly Clinical or Light Up The Couch. These free CE courses will be 1 CE Credit each, and include credit with the APA, NBCC, NAADAC, CCAPP, and CAMFT. Social workers: We’re trying to get you covered, too, and may release them with an additional approval, if we can swing it.

We’re doing our best to support you, and wishing you and yours health in this time.

Confused about what a CEU is, and why we don’t call these free CE courses ‘CEUs’ above? Read our last blog entry here: What IS a CEU?
