Social service practices are grounded in ethical decision-making to ensure the best interests of clients remain at the forefront of our work. Ethical decision-making as well as boundaries in therapeutic relationships vary due to the diversity of clients being served. This workshop will help professionals examine boundary setting, self-disclosure, and current ethical practices through the lens of cultural, developmental and diagnostic issues.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to explain the importance of the therapeutic relationship and identify ethical considerations
Participants will be able to identify cultural, developmental, and diagnostic factors that might impact therapeutic relationships
Participants will be able to examine meaning of the boundary choices and the fairness of established boundaries they have in place
