May CEU: Red Flag Gun Law: Duties
We will examine this expansion in duties as well as the companion duty to advise law enforcement as regards whether the client should lose access to a firearm. Some key issues will include ethical decision-making, risks of taking action, thresholds for breaching confidentiality, and the construction of client information informing them of the limits of privacy. One of the challenges in such situations is the slippery slope as regards inquiry about firearms and the danger of slipping into an investigative role that is not consistent with clinical focus on the client.

We get it. It can be confusing. Right now this is the easiest way for our volunteers to manage these events and provide monthly events for you! We have been trying our best with the budget and resources we have. We would love any ideas or constructive feedback on how to make this better as we are all trying to figure this out too!
