Professionals in the human service field deal with ethical issues on a daily basis. Obvious boundary situations i.e. sexual relations with a client, loaning money to clients, or going into business with clients, are easier to recognize and know how to professionally respond. The more challenging situations often fall within gray areas of ethical parameters. Far too often we fail to connect these situations to ethical practice. These are the “normal” issues that arise regularly in interactions with clients and consumers. “Are there limitations on self disclosure?” “Do I accept a gift from a client?” “Should I hug a client?” “Should I attend a funeral to be supportive of a client if asked?” This training will look at the every day issues that human professionals encounter and how our ethical practice guidelines direct us to respond.

People who attend this session will learn:
