The Ethics of Providing Mental Health Services to Minors | May 14, 2027

SERVING CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITHIN THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSION IS OFTEN REWARDING AND IS FREQUENTLY IN HIGH DEMAND. HOWEVER, WORKING WITH MINOR CLIENTS ADDS AN ELEMENT OF RISK, POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND NEED FOR A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR ETHICAL CODE. THIS COURSE WILL LOOK AT HOW COUNSELORS MUST APPLY OUR ETHICAL CODE WHEN WORKING WITH MINOR CLIENTS.

Course Objectives:

THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED TO HELP PREPARE COUNSELORS FOR WORKING WITH MINOR CLIENTS FROM AN ETHICAL FRAMEWORK.

1. PARTICIPANTS WILL IDENTIFY ELEMENTS OF WORKING WITH MINOR CLIENTS THAT MAY RAISE ETHICAL CONCERNS AND CAUSE NEED FOR FURTHER CONSULTATION OR EVALUATION.

2. PARTICIPANTS WILL UTILIZE THE ETHICAL CODE TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL SCENARIOS THAT ARISE WHEN WORKING WITH MINOR CLIENTS
