Ethics and boundaries can be complicated and confusing for human service professionals. Ethical decision-making processes will be addressed in a variety of contexts using case examples and best practice models to identify and address complicated scenarios within human service organizations.

The process of using an ethical decision-making model will be shared as these ethical dilemmas are processed. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences with challenging client issues.

The NASW Ethics Audit will be utilized to demonstrate the recommended process for evaluating ethical and boundary risk factors within organizational programs that cover both client services and personnel management. This program is designed to be interactive as participants share challenging ethical issues encountered while providing social services.

This workshop is appropriate for human service workers, supervisors, and administrators who are new to the field or human service work or are seasoned professionals
