Overview

Advanced Mental Health Ethics and Legal Governance Training Course is a one-week advanced course for mental-health service managers, clinical supervisors, healthcare administrators, quality and risk professionals, social-care leaders, and staff responsible for ethical governance. Participants leave with a Mental Health Ethics and Legal Governance Portfolio connecting dignity, autonomy, legal capacity, supported decision making, informed consent, confidentiality, information sharing, safeguarding, rights, least-restrictive practice, risk decisions, documentation, complaints, professional boundaries, ethics consultation, policy review, and accountability. Agile Leaders Training Center presents mental health ethics and legal governance through rights-based decision tools, with a clear method for checking the applicable jurisdiction rather than giving legal advice.
