Hello :)
I hope you are well.
There are four parts to this project:
1) **************
I need to know how I can legally sell a
a) 'mental health' video masterclass
b) 'exercise therapy' (for both physical and mental health) video masterclass
c) pro therapy vidoe masterclass, combining the two a) and b) which include some extras like cold water therapy etc
on my website. I plan on each masterclass being around 10 hours long, designed to help educate people on their mental health.
When I asked chat gpt, they said that I cannot alone (because I am not qualified in the field), however if I interview fully licensed and qualified professionals ( a - therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists b - personal trainers, sports professionals) throughout the entire duration of the masterclasses, then this can be acceptable. However I do not know how this would work regarding telemedicine laws...is the legally acceptable to provide online despite my clients being located in different countries like USA, England, Switzerland, India, etc?
2)*******************
On the exercise therapy side, I also plan on providing meal plans, exercise plans, and mentoring. I am fully qualified to do this in the USA, I am a qualified personal trainer, elite personal trainer, nutritionist, fitness coach, and glute specialists, however I do not know how these qualifications translate on the international landscape of telemedicine and online e therapy...can I legally provide these services to people with mental and physical health challenges.
3) **************
I need a lawyer to provide watertight legal advice and documentation, about me as a company hiring fully licensed therapists to provide weekly and bi weekly therapy sessions and medication to customers with mental health issues.
I need specifically a watertight approach and legal documents explaining which therapists can provide therapy and medication in which geographical areas, or if therapists can provide therapy and medication to all customers irrelevant of their location.
These websites and documents are brilliant: [login to view URL] and [login to view URL]
Competitors include: 1) [login to view URL] offer therapy worldwide (they don't offer medication however, I'd like to) 2) [login to view URL] of therapy and meds worldwide (they offer medication and psychiatry) 3. [login to view URL] offer therapy and meds but just to USA. 4) [login to view URL] .... this information in this link is helpful: [login to view URL]
We can copy competitors approaches a lot, with regards to the legal documents.
Mini summary: In short, I need to know the specific legal requirements that vary significantly depending on location, the nature of the services provided (just therapy, or therapy and medication), and the qualifications of my therapists (therapist, psychologist, and psychiatrist). I will always consult with a qualified attorney to ensure my approach and documents are watertight and compliant with all relevant laws and regulations.

Here is an additional general guideline of what I need to complete by the end of us working together:
1) Determine Geographical Coverage:
I need to discuss with my attorney whether my therapists can provide therapy services to customers across different geographical areas, or if there are restrictions based on licensing and regulations in each jurisdiction.
What can't be copied exactly (I imagine) however maybe [login to view URL] has this info, is the geographical locations of the therapists and thus which country they can practice in (for example, Switzerland has laws with domestic therapists, needing certain very stringent qualifications, however perhaps telemedicine skirts/goes around there? This this a key question I need answering.
2) Therapist Licensing:
I need to ensure that all therapists I hire are fully licensed to practice in their respective states or countries, and understand if they can according to specific telemedicine laws practice in different domains. Maybe copy [login to view URL]
3) Teletherapy and Medication:
I need to discuss with my attorney whether therapists can provide teletherapy services and prescribe medication, if applicable, and under what conditions, and in what locations. Maybe copy [login to view URL]
4) Create Legal Documents (this can be done on chat gpt)
My attorney can help me draft the following key legal documents:
a. Service Agreements: Contracts between my company and therapists outlining their roles, responsibilities, and any geographical restrictions on providing services.
b. Informed Consent Forms: Documents for customers to sign, explaining the nature of therapy, potential risks, and benefits.
c. Privacy Policies: Detailing how customer data is handled and protected, in compliance with data privacy laws.
d. Teletherapy Policies: If offering teletherapy, create policies that outline security measures, technology requirements, and informed consent for remote sessions.
e. Prescription and Medication Policies: If therapists can prescribe medication, document the process and requirements.
f. Compliance with State and Federal Laws: Ensure my documents align with relevant laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), if applicable.
5) Review by Regulatory Bodies:
I need to consult with my attorney to ensure that my business model and legal documents meet the requirements of any regulatory bodies overseeing mental health services in my area.
6) Ongoing Legal Support:
I need to establish a working relationship with my attorney for ongoing legal advice, updates, and revisions to my documents as laws and regulations change.
7) Employee Training and Compliance:
I need to train my therapists on legal and ethical requirements for their practice, including adhering to geographical restrictions and privacy laws.
8) Insurance and Liability:
I need to explore liability insurance options for my company and therapists to protect against potential legal claims.

I am going to create a mobile DJ setup on a bike to play music in public spaces, as a fun and engaging way to share music with the community whilst also promoting my mental health company. However, it's important to do so while respecting local laws and regulations to avoid any legal issues or disturbances.
Here are examples of two of my competitors who do this already, [login to view URL] and you can see his work on here: [login to view URL] Also, this guy: [login to view URL] and you can see his work here: [login to view URL]
Here are some steps you can take to pursue this idea legally, maybe you could also research this for cities like london, paris, berlin, manchester, madrid, barcelona, zurich, munich, and a few other main cities in europe?
1. **Research Local Laws and Regulations:**
- Check your local city or municipality's noise ordinances and regulations regarding public performances, amplified music, and use of public spaces.
- Look into any permits or licenses required for street performances or playing music in public areas.
2. **Apply for Necessary Permits:**
- If your local regulations require permits or licenses for public performances or amplified music, make sure to apply for and obtain them.
- Follow the application process and pay any associated fees.
3. **Respect Noise Levels:**
- Ensure that your music's volume is within the legal limits set by local noise ordinances. Be mindful of the time of day, as some areas may have specific rules for noise during nighttime hours.
4. **Choose Suitable Locations:**
- Select appropriate locations for your performances, such as parks, public squares, or pedestrian zones where noise is more likely to be tolerated.
5. **Notify Local Authorities or Police:**
- It's a good idea to inform local authorities or the police about your planned activities. This can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure that they are aware of your intentions.
6. **Set Time Limits:**
- If there are time restrictions for public performances, be sure to adhere to them. Avoid late-night performances in residential areas.
7. **Be Considerate of Noise Complaints:**
- If you receive noise complaints from residents or businesses, be prepared to adjust your volume or relocate to a more suitable area.
8. **Safety Precautions:**
- Ensure that your mobile DJ setup is securely mounted on your bike and won't pose any safety hazards to you or others on the road.
9. **Respect Copyright Laws:**
- Be mindful of copyright laws when playing music in public. Use licensed tracks or obtain the necessary permissions to play copyrighted music.
10. **Engage with the Community:**
- Consider interacting with the community and getting their feedback on your performances. Building positive relationships with the community can make your endeavor more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Remember that the specifics of the legal requirements and regulations can vary greatly depending on your location, so it's crucial to research and adhere to the rules in your particular area. Consulting with local authorities or a legal professional who is familiar with local laws can also be helpful in ensuring that you are in compliance with all necessary regulations.
Thank you ever so much :)
