Description

Clinical work with children, teenagers, and families is challenging enough. As our world and relationships rely more and more on technology, our research and ethical standards are having a hard time keeping up with the rapid evolution of the ways we document, communicate, and relate to each other both professionally and personally.

The goal of this workshop is to highlight some of the challenges that many clinicians face when working with children, teens and their families in a digital world and to offer strategies to navigate the complex world of electronic documentation to communication.
