Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

In today’s episode of the Good Enough Counsellors podcast, Josephine Hughes talks with Michael Toller, psychotherapist and creator of the Clinical Will App, about why every therapist needs a clinical will. Michael shares his journey of developing the app to help therapists protect their clients’ privacy and ensure ethical practice in case something unexpected happens. We dive into what a clinical will is, how it works, and why it’s essential for all solo practitioners to have one in place.

Takeaways:

What a Clinical Will is: A clinical will is a process that ensures clients are cared for if a therapist is suddenly unable to continue working, whether due to illness or death.
Why Therapists Need One: It’s crucial for therapists to have a clinical will in place to protect their clients’ confidentiality and ensure proper handling of their cases in the event of an emergency.
How the Clinical Will App Works: Michael explains how the app securely stores client contact details and makes it easy for a trusted person (clinical trustee) to access this information if needed.
Setting Up Your Clinical Will: Learn how easy it is to use the Clinical Will App and why regular updates are important to keep your information current.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Trustee: The episode discusses the importance of appointing a qualified clinical trustee and the role they play in ensuring your wishes are carried out ethically and professionally.
Additional Ethical Considerations: Michael discusses the broader need for therapists to demonstrate their ethical practice, and how technology can support this goal.
