Description
Ethical dilemmas are part and parcel of anyone’s practice in the behavioral health field. Often though, we find that the code of ethics in our area of licensure is quite different from our coworkers. This can lead to misjudgment of our colleagues and confusion on the part of our patients. In this training, we will look at the different types of ethics, the differences between the code of ethics for different behavioral health providers, and how to deal with ethical decision-making, how to report, and how to respond. Ethical dilemmas will be presented and discussed throughout the training.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate the “Who, What, When, Where, and How” of professional ethics.
  • Identify the four types of ethics.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the differences in the Codes of Ethics for Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Social Workers as well as other disciplines.
  • Report an ethical violation, and how to respond should a complaint be made about them.
