Ethics: Navigating the Minefield of Compassionate Care

When:  October 22, 2021

Presenter:  James E. Campbell, LPC, LAC, MAC, CACII

Description:

Those who enter the addictions professions often do so in part because of their compassion for others and their desire to see people move towards greater health and wellness. As we seek to navigate helping others, however, there are many ways to step outside of what is best ethical practice and care for those we serve. This session will explore ethics for addiction professionals as it relates to their relationships with clients, the importance of confidentiality and their responsibilities as addiction professionals.

Objectives:

1. Identify the difference between ethics, morals and values

2. Describe self-disclosure, confidentiality, mandated reporting, and duty to warn in the context of ethics

3. Articulate at least two key concerns related to confidentiality and technology

4. Utilize an ethical decision-making model for dealing with ethical dilemmas as evidenced by evaluating scenarios for ethical concerns within the context of the group.
