Ethical and Legal Issues in Provision of Services to Minors

Every day health, mental health providers and attorneys deliberate about how to deal with challenging situations involving minors. Frequently, they see equally undesirable alternatives. These situations present ethical questions requiring in-depth consideration of the best decision or action to take. This OnDemand Webinar will give participants an opportunity to learn skills necessary to think through the elements of ethical dilemmas in practice. This program will use a decision making model that incorporates ethical concepts, boundaries and dual relationships, preventive strategies and conflicts in values. Without these skills and a conceptual framework, practitioners can find themselves floundering to figure out the best approach to these situations.

Learning Objectives:
•You will be able to discuss the model for ethical decision making.
•You will be able to explain the seven clusters of morale concept.
•You will be able to review preventative strategies.
