This webinar guides mental health professionals through the process of creating a professional will—a critical yet often overlooked component of ethical and responsible clinical practice. Participants will explore the purpose and benefits of a professional will, including protecting client welfare, ensuring continuity of care, and meeting legal and ethical obligations in the event of incapacity, retirement, or death. The course will review key considerations, including selecting clinical executors, managing client records, and addressing confidentiality and consent. Best practices and customizable templates will be provided to support the development of a comprehensive and personalized professional will. Ethical frameworks and real-world examples will help clinicians anticipate challenges and create a clear, effective plan.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the ethical, legal, and clinical importance of having a professional will in place as part of responsible practice management.
  • Identify the essential components and considerations involved in drafting a professional will, including client care, records management, and appointing a clinical executor.
  • Apply best practices and use provided templates to begin creating or revising a professional will that reflects their unique practice setting and responsibilities.
