Informed consent remains one of the most foundational elements of ethical psychological practice. While core ethical principles have remained stable, practice environments have become significantly more complex. Psychologists now navigate virtual care, digital documentation systems, third party involvement, and emerging artificial intelligence tools within their everyday workflows.

This three hour webinar provides a comprehensive and practical review of informed consent across counselling, assessment, supervision, consultation, and high stakes contexts. Learners will examine capacity considerations, regulatory expectations, documentation standards, telepsychology risks, and AI related disclosure obligations. Practical scripts, structured frameworks, and self audit strategies will be provided to help clinicians strengthen transparency, protect client autonomy, and future proof their consent processes within contemporary Canadian practice.
