“I came expecting to be bored and had a ball! What fun!"

Say good-bye to dull legal and ethical trainings! I am very excited to introduce my latest legal and ethical training using a game show format. This style of presentation grew out of a recognition that most mental health professionals do not need another lecture on typical legal and ethical topics. What has been needed is a fun, stimulating way to review and learn from what they already know. Participants are broken into teams and each team has an electronic remote that sends the team's answer to questions to a computer that keeps scores. Answers from teams are scored, graphed, posted, and discussed. Sponsors can provide prizes to the winning team. In one format questions are presented on a Jeopardy-style screen where categories are chosen and questions get harder as point values increase. The full-day training includes a Family Feud component. This presentation can accommodate any size audience. For large audiences, a gallery is created in the back of the room and play along as desired. The questions posed have been years in development and often focus on lesser-known aspects of legal and ethical quandaries.

Evaluations for this training have been exceptionally positive. Audience members have had a wonderful time discussing and working through perplexing questions. I have never seen a training format that stimulated so much discussion and where time flew by so fast. All questions are designed for all mental health guilds and settings including counseling, social work, psychology, marriage and family, psychiatry, drug and alcohol, case management, etc. This program is available in a 3 or 6-hour format. For large audiences morning and afternoon sessions could be advertised and attendees could choose the most convenient session to attend. 
“Loved the game show format! This made an otherwise unexciting topic energetic and fun. Didn't look at my watch even once.” Noelle Grimes, Counselor
