Ethical Practice and Self-Care: Emerging Stronger from Challenging Times
Live Real-Time Interactive Webinar
Challenging times is an understatement given the state of world health and social issues since the start of the pandemic. Helping professionals have faced unique challenges, unprecedented levels of stress (personally and professionally), and have had to change their practice in many ways. Despite having to pivot in these challenging times, it is essential that ethical decision making must be at the forefront.
Â
This workshop will provide a perspective of maintaining healthy boundaries, setting clear treatment frames and expectations for treatment, and how to use colleagues and supervisory support during this difficult time while implementing an appropriate ethical decision-making process. It will also identify the unique challenges of the last several years, with a reflective journey on collective trauma and all our trauma responses. Best practice techniques for ethical decision-making while working with trauma will also be discussed.
