While counselors do not prescribe medications, they play an important role in recognizing potential concerns, communicating effectively with medical providers, and helping clients make informed decisions within appropriate professional boundaries. This workshop will provide counselors with practical knowledge about commonly used psychiatric medications and supplements, including their intended purposes, common side effects, potential concerns, and questions counselors should consider when discussing them with clients. Participants will explore the counselor’s role in medication-related conversations, recognize situations that warrant consultation or referral, and examine important ethical and scope-of-practice considerations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearning Objectives:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdentify commonly prescribed psychiatric medications and frequently used supplements, including their general purposes, potential side effects, and mental health considerations relevant to counseling practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecognize medication- and supplement-related concerns that may warrant additional assessment, consultation with a prescribing provider, or referral for medical evaluation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApply ethical and scope-of-practice guidelines when discussing medications and supplements with clients, including appropriate questions, documentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and boundaries regarding medication recommendations or changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/9134\/2941\/files\/ACEP-logo-72dpi_web_3.jpg?v=1775075240\" width=\"97\" height=\"97\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003eCord of Three Counseling Services, Inc. has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7971.  Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified.  Cord of Three Counseling Services, Inc. is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBio Information: Clay Gill, MS, LPC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21c876e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21c876e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClay Gill is the Executive Director and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia where he serves as Executive Director and counselor for Cord of 3 Counseling Services.  He graduated from Richmont Graduate University with a Master Diploma in Christian Counseling and Georgia State University with a MS in Professional Counseling.  Clay says \"I work with families of all ages and of various problems but my favorite counseling is with couples helping to strengthen their marriage.  I also work with men who are struggling in different areas.  I see clients in the Blackshear main office and in our Vidalia office.  In addition to counseling, I am thankful to be able to serve the ministry of Cord of Three from a business perspective.  I oversee the financial integrity of Cord of Three and work to keep the Vision and Mission that God has placed on this ministry as the primary focal point of all the work that we do.   I married Doris in 2000 and we now have 3 wonderful children: Rance, Eli, and Callie.  I serve as the pastor to Waycross Primitive Baptist Church in Waycross, Georgia.  We enjoy kayaking as a family.  I love being with my family and working with God’s people.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cord of 3 Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67686564397149,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/9134\/2941\/files\/2027TrainingsforShopify_4.jpg?v=1791399057","url":"https:\/\/cierxn-kc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-counselors-guide-to-medication-supplements-workshop","provider":"Cord of 3 Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
