The morning session(3hrs) will be focused on practitioner dilemmas introduced by a mini lecture on ethical theories and codes. The afternoon(3hrs) will focus on supervisory dilemmas preceded by a mini lecture on supervision. Participants are required to read the NASW and Ohio Licensing Board Codes prior to the workshop. A website for these Codes will be provided.
