The Great Lakes MHTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.
An ethical dilemma arises when there is no clear correct way to proceed. These situations are difficult because the practitioner must often choose the path of doing the least harm, which does not feel very comfortable. In these difficult cases, the practitioner must weigh the consequences of different approaches to the problem and look at ethical considerations. In this class we carefully define the nature of a dilemma and look at a framework to use to decide what to do when one arises. This material builds upon basic understanding of boundaries and ethics in social work practice and leans on the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics as a guide to action as part of an eight step process.
Registrants who fully attend this event or training will be eligible to receive 2.0 CEs through the Minnesota Board of Social Work.
