Description
This engaging workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to learn, share, and discuss the aspirational ethics that are central to the helping professions. Through processing cases, engaging in art making, and sharing lenses of practice, participants will be able to identify how our foundational professional values inform adherence to ethical principles across mental health disciplines. We will look at the tests of universality, justice, and publicity as we consider strategies that address the needs of all stakeholders when tackling ethical challenges that emerge for mental health care providers.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
-
Identify and integrate the professional values that are core to ethical codes across mental health disciplines.
-
Utilize an ethical decision-making model to process dilemmas and understand what influences ethical thought processes.
-
Use a collaborative team approach to consider diverse perspective in understanding stakeholders and potential impacts of decisions.
