WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop is an advanced ethics training for social workers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, and other mental health practitioners. This training is designed as a realistic and functional exploration of the major ethical, legal, and risk-management challenges facing mental health clinicians in 21st Century practice. While addressing fundamental ethical principles, it will depart from typical ethics trainings in its unique focus on practical applications, realistic dilemmas, and solution-focused recommendations that recognize the real-world environment of most clinicians. It will be a down-to-earth look at ethics in modern practices, trends in law and ethics rules and regulations, and how to avoid many of the ethical pitfalls commonly found in today's legal and regulatory environment.
This workshop is designed as:
1. A functional review and exploration of the major ethical, legal, and risk management issues in today's clinical environment, including informed consent, boundaries and dual relationships, privacy, confidentiality, privilege, record-keeping, and ethical competency, and
2. A practical and interactive exploration of the more nuanced legal, ethical, and risk management realities, concerns, and considerations in today's clinical practice, including licensing board processes, complaint and grievance processes, social media aspects of modern practices, distance/electronic mental health services, subpoenas, and legal processes.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:
1. Recognize the major principles underlying modern ethics codes and regulations, 2. Identify and develop decision-making protocols and analytical skills for dealing with modern legal, ethical, and risk-management situations and dilemmas; 3. Understanding of current legal and ethical trends in modern clinical practice; 4. Understanding of licensing board practices, including grievance procedures; 5. Improved awareness and sensitivity to the role and ethical application of distance, electronic, and social media processes in clinical practice; 6. Increased ability to recognize and appropriately deal with diversity, multi-cultural and social justice issues in the clinical environment.
