CE Course Description

Sexual harassment in the workplace poses significant psychological, ethical, and legal challenges across behavioral health environments. This continuing education course is designed to equip psychologists and other mental health professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment in clinical, supervisory, and organizational contexts. Integrating legal statutes, ethical codes, and real-world scenarios, this course emphasizes psychologists' roles as ethical leaders and advocates for safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace environments. Participants will engage in critical reflection on power dynamics, dual relationships, and boundary management while exploring the responsibilities of employers and supervisors in addressing complaints. Through evidence-based strategies and illustrative case studies, this course fosters psychological safety, improves reporting protocols, and ensures professional integrity in the mental health workplace. This training aligns with APA’s Standards and Criteria for Approval of Sponsors of Continuing Education for Psychologists (APA, 2015) and fulfills sexual harassment prevention education requirements.
