Ethical Decision-Making Models: An Experiential Training for Addressing Ethical Dilemmas
Live Real-Time Interactive Webinar
Have you ever faced a practice situation where there did not seem to be a clear path forward? One where you were forced to make a decision though there did not seem to be a good overall solution? Given enough time in the helping professions, you will face an ethical dilemma. This workshop will explore ethical decision-making models as tools for addressing those challenging practice cases. Â
The workshop will begin with an overview of ethical dilemmas and ethical decision-making models with a focus on explaining one such model in detail. We will then work through various practice cases, applying the decision-making model to explore the case from a variety of perspectives. We will address the importance of moral awareness and intention through the process. The workshop will offer lecture time as well as group application time. Participants will be invited to share practice dilemmas they’ve faced and to work together in groups to apply the presented model.  Â
