EVENT DETAILS
The focus of this ethics and boundaries workshop is on our “professional use of self” in relationship to
conducting activities within an organization/agency, among colleagues, and in the community.
Challenges of daily practice are explored that promote meaningful relationships with
employers/supervisors, colleagues, and clients. The premise of this workshop is that ethical practice
and the maintenance of effective boundaries permeates all areas of our work activity that not only
includes our work with clients, but how we relate to our organization/agency and colleagues.
This interactive workshop will use ethical dilemmas and case examples to illustrate the ethical
challenges that practitioners face in both chemical dependency and corrections practice. Participants
will engage in a discussion of what it means to be a professional, how we use “self” in our practice
and explore how we approach our practice and resolve ethical dilemmas.
Learning Objectives:
• To further understand how the "professional use of self" impacts the helping process.
• To further understand how the "professional use of self" can be enhanced by utilizing an
ethical decision-making model in practice.
• To have opportunities for self-assessment and reflection as it relates to the "professional use
of self."
• Review the ACA and MARRCH Codes of Ethics.
• Identify specific dilemmas for professional practice.
• Use examples as illustration, to demonstrate the critical thinking process that leads
to resolution of difficult ethical dilemmas in our daily practice.
• Engage in analysis of ethical issues encountered in your professional practice.
