What must happen within one month of a psychologist's death regarding client records?

Upon the death of a psychologist, it is required to publish a notice regarding the psychologist's passing. This notice serves several purposes including informing clients and others who may have worked with the psychologist about how to access their records or seek alternative psychological care.

This requirement is in place to ensure that clients are aware of the situation and can take necessary steps to safeguard their mental health care, which may include finding a new psychologist or obtaining their records for future care. The publication of such a notice might be directed to patients or the public, typically through a widely accessible medium.

Additionally, while there may be other protocols or considerations regarding client records posthumously — such as how long records are retained or who is authorized to access them — the specific action mandated within this one-month timeframe is the publication of a notice concerning the psychologist's death.
