Description

This webinar will cover the first and eighth ethical principles of the NAADAC/NCC AP Code of Ethics, Principle I: The Counseling Relationship and Principle IIV: Resolving Ethical Concerns. Principle I focuses on the counseling relationship, including the topics of informed consent, what needs to be disclosed to the client, therapeutic boundaries, and dual relationships. Principle VIII focuses on the resolution of ethical concerns using an ethical decision-making process. After a concise review of the first and eighth principles, the webinar will focus on case examples to highlight common ethical dilemmas that treatment providers face in everyday practice. Participants will walk away with a thorough understanding of these two principles, how ethics govern the counseling relationship, and a process for making ethical decisions.
