This training session focuses on enhancing understanding and application of ethical principles for behavioral healthcare providers (psychologists, counselors, drug and alcohol counselors, and social workers). The training session will cover ethical principles, discuss their application, give examples of common ethical dilemmas, describe an ethical decision-making model, and discuss cultural considerations when making ethical decisions. Ethics are designed to protect the public we serve by safeguarding their interests and giving us direction when conflicting interests arise in providing care.
