1. Clinical Documentation with Children and Adolescents

Clinical documentation for minors isn’t just a task—it’s a delicate and high-stakes balancing act that impacts a young client’s safety, autonomy, trust, and care outcomes. Documenting ethically, legally, and compassionately can make or break a therapeutic relationship, especially when guardians, systems, and developmental differences are involved.

Clinicians working with children and adolescents need more than templates and checklists—they need clear guidance that respects the complexities of family systems, confidentiality laws, billing, and consent. This course empowers you to approach documentation with clarity, competence, and confidence.

Topics include age-appropriate diagnostic documentation, SMART and PACT goal-setting in treatment plans, billing codes, SOAP and BIRP note structures, mental status exams, documentation related to consent and custody agreements, best practices for guardian communication, risk assessment and safety planning, letters for accommodations or court, and protecting confidentiality in a digitized healthcare system.

Learning Objectives:

• Design treatment plans and documentation of clinical interventions for minor clients that maintain legal and ethical standards.
• Assess concerns of confidentiality and privacy for children and teen clients, and construct office policies that uphold these ethical ideals while maintaining documentation standards.
• Accurately diagnose child and adolescent clients based on age and developmental level, with appropriate justification and documentation of symptoms.

2. Telehealth and Play-Based Interventions

Children don’t always have the words to tell us what’s wrong—but in play, they show us everything. For clinicians providing telehealth services to children and families, this course bridges the gap between in-person connection and digital care.

Telehealth and play-based therapy are not mutually exclusive—and with the right skills and strategies, you can confidently and ethically deliver high-impact support that meets your young clients right where they are.

Topics include translating in-person play techniques to virtual platforms, navigating parent involvement, creating your own interventions based on theory and treatment goals, assessing client appropriateness for telehealth, and using virtual tools like Minecraft, sand trays, and collaborative family games to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Critically analyze research behind the efficacy of telehealth with play-based interventions.
• Construct scripts to educate clients and their parents about the benefits and limitations of telehealth with children.
• Employ at least ten play-based telehealth interventions in clinical practice and document their use in notes and treatment plans.
• Design, create, and implement additional play-based telehealth interventions based on theory and technical skills from this presentation.
• Integrate in-person play interventions in a telehealth platform effectively and following protocols for evidence-based play and teletherapy.

3. Telehealth with Children and Very Young Children

When working with children and very young children via telehealth, you’re not just navigating a screen—you’re navigating their world. For clinicians, the challenge of fostering connection, safety, and therapeutic progress with young clients online can feel overwhelming—especially when trauma, cultural complexity, and limited attention spans come into play.

In this powerful self-study course, you’ll gain strategies for engaging even your youngest clients in meaningful, evidence-based tele-play therapy. You’ll discover practical tools and culturally responsive frameworks that transform telehealth from a limitation into a therapeutic asset.

This course explores a wide range of telehealth adaptations and tools for work with children, including video-based interventions, child-parent relationship therapies, sandtray and play therapy, mindfulness, bibliotherapy, digital art therapy, and culturally adapted trauma treatments. It also highlights models like iPCIT, CPP, and SPICC, and emphasizes clinical engagement with caregivers as vital co-facilitators of therapeutic success.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and describe at least one developmentally-appropriate model for working effectively via telehealth with children who present with behavioral health issues.
• Appraise the applicability of at least two virtual play therapy tools for engaging behavioral health child clients in treatment using evidence-based practices.
• Illustrate at least two ways of using telehealth and tele-play therapy interventions in a culturally responsive manner when working with BIPOC children and their families.

4. Telehealth for Clients with High-Risk Symptoms

Managing high-risk clinical symptoms like suicidality, psychosis, and domestic violence requires more than standard therapeutic skill; it demands a specialized framework for ensuring safety through a digital screen. While many clinicians fear that telehealth amplifies risk, evidence shows that virtual care is just as effective and potentially lifesaving when delivered with appropriate protocols and confidence.

This on-demand training provides a comprehensive, evidence-based roadmap for ethically managing high-acuity cases in a virtual setting. By exploring the latest peer-reviewed research and practical assessment strategies, participants gain the tools to move beyond "better than nothing" care toward clinical excellence and reliability.

The curriculum covers a wide spectrum of risk factors, including non-suicidal self-injury, active suicidality, substance misuse, and psychotic symptoms. Dr. Marschall dives into specific clinical tools like the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), the DAST-10, and the HARK for domestic violence screening. Key highlights include "Transcript Gold" strategies such as the "7-11 breathing technique," the "TIP" and "Dear Man" skills from DBT, and the "CUES" mnemonic for addressing intimate partner violence safely through the screen.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess clients for appropriateness for telehealth based on risk factors, including suicidal ideation, substance dependence, and abuse, using validated screening instruments.
• Transform existing therapeutic interventions and techniques for in-person sessions in a telehealth setting.
• Apply evidence-based therapeutic interventions for psychosis, dissociation, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and self-harm behavior via telehealth platforms.
• Develop safety plans for clients experiencing abuse, self-harm, and high-risk behaviors utilizing telehealth platforms for service delivery.

As a behavioral health professional, your digital screen is a portal to healing, growth, and life-saving connection. This specialized training empowers you to meet your youngest and most vulnerable clients exactly where they are, transforming complex challenges and stories of pain into profound journeys of resilience. Enroll now in the Telehealth Kids + Crisis-Ready Bundle and become the exceptionally prepared, confident, and ethically grounded clinician that children and families can trust in their most critical moments.
