Total Credits: 6 including 6 Ethic CEs
In crisis, time is of the essence, and social workers are often called on to quickly triage a situation. The margin for error can change depending on the situation. In addition, environmental elements can affect ethical decision-making processes, and the applied approach can vary widely. Participants will explore appropriate ethical decision-making processes in a crisis situation/intervention. An emphasis will be placed on best practice techniques for ethical decision-making, allowing participants to engage in a variety of different intervention techniques.
