Course Details
Course Description: Ethical Practice with Special Populations covers ethical practice with four clinical populations that commonly present dilemmas for helping professionals: culturally diverse clients, clients involved in the criminal justice system, adolescent clients, and clients with co-occurring disorders. It is designed for experienced professionals who have already completed introductory ethics training and have been working in the field for several years. Each module addresses one population and explores relevant ethical principles alongside related legal and professional considerations, and includes discussion questions, a case scenario, and additional resources. Participants will complete a self-inventory examining their personal and professional reactions to these client groups and will apply course materials to their own agency or practice setting.
