Spark: Confidentiality Best Practices

Engage your team in a discussion on how to handle the challenges of providing confidential care in your practice. By the end of this Spark, participants will be able to state the legal requirements for minor consent, identify strategies for communicating with parents and adolescents regarding confidentiality laws, and identify barriers, challenges, and strategies to implementing confidentiality laws. Contact us if you are interested in developing a Spark based on the laws of your state.
