Prevention Ethics

DESCRIPTION

Prevention practitioners are often called upon to solve ethical dilemmas, just as other professionals, using a code of ethical conduct. This workshop addresses these ethical dilemmas and introduces a model for problem solving.

This 6 hour workshop is designed to meet the requirements for the six hours of prevention specific ethics required for prevention certification. This workshop uses highly interactive activities to examine the principles of ethics for prevention specialists. Participants will: understand ethics from a historical perspective; define prevention and ethics; list the six principles of ethics for prevention practitioners; use an ethical decision making model for dealing the ethical dilemmas; examine cases using the ethical decision making model; and develop a personal professional plan for future growth in the field of prevention.
