Liability Insurance for Psychology Students
As a student, you know how important hands-on experience is for your career. But how much thought have you given to planning and protecting your future? The Trust knows you have a lot on your plate because we’ve been in your shoes! Having the right tools at your disposal is essential to starting off on the right foot.
Did you know that every time you provide psychological services, even in training, you put yourself at risk for a lawsuit and other legal, governmental, and regulatory actions? Being insured through someone else’s malpractice policy doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get the protection or attention you need in case of a complaint or allegation. Protect yourself and your future with Student Liability insurance for as little as $35 a year!
The Trust has taken the guesswork out of getting started with our new brochure “Starting a Private Practice: An Early Career Psychologist’s Guide.” This essential resource was developed to help you navigate the unique challenges early career professionals face when getting started and is a must-read for every student.
