Strategies for Developing and Maintaining Ethical Practices: Competence in the Delivery of Clinical Services

Ethics is a complex concept used to address different facets of appropriate professional conduct. Ethics as a discipline defines what is good and bad, incorporating moral duty and obligation, and provides standards of conduct that protect clients, service providers, and agencies. For substance use, addictive behavior, and mental health providers, a robust understanding of ethics is important for maintaining healthy boundaries with clients, ourselves, and other professionals as we work through some of life’s more challenging concerns. This highly interactive workshop will assist participants in keeping their practices up to date by looking at how laws, technology, and our understanding of people and the therapeutic relationship continue to evolve - using multiple case studies.

Participants who complete this advanced ethics workshop will be able to:

  • Explore standards of practice, scope of competency and boundary management
  • Explain why maintenance and ongoing development of competence is an ethical issue
  • Identify strategies for self-monitoring of competence, and identify ways to develop and maintain competence
  • Articulate at least three potential ethical challenges associated with professional competence issues, and how to address them
  • Define concepts of ethical practice related to the hybrid delivery of services
  • Explore the role of the clinician, dual relationships, confidentiality, privacy, termination, telehealth, clinical supervision, informed consent, HIPAA, Good Faith Estimate/No Surprises Act, and the intersection of multiculturalism.
