Ethical Issues & Clinical Errors in Counseling - How to Identify, Address & Prevent Them

Welcome to CEU By Net's online Ethics courses for counselors, social workers, family therapists, and LCDCs - approved for licensure renewal credit for NBCC, NAADAC, EACC-EAPA, Texas Behavioral Health Council, IC&RC, and most state licensing boards nationwide. Ethics Courses are FREE to take with CEU By Net's $49 Unlimited CEUs Plan. 

Our online Ethics courses expand your knowledge of professional ethics beyond the traditional areas of confidentiality and professional boundaries.

Here you can obtain guidance in ethical solutions to contemporary counseling situations, such as how to ethically provide HIV Harm Reduction syringe-exchange programs; how to support adolescents and their families in Affirmative Gender Identity Care for Transsexual adolescents; how to ethically provide assessment, treatment, and safety to emancipated minor adolescents who are sexually trafficked and live in the backstreets and alleys or the house next door. 

Our updated and research-validated Ethics courses for behavioral health professionals integrate sound ethical principles with newly evolved counseling situations and responsibilities - such as the need for a compassionate and ethical approach to discussing End of Life care with patients with AIDES or therapeutically supporting the parents of critically ill children. Helping parents with 'trans' children to work through decisions about the gender affirmation process. And how to maintain one's ethical precepts with the requirements of a Managed Care Contract.

Integration of Ethics with Contemporary Treatment Scenarios

Do you need training in ethical approaches to working with LGBTQ and 'trans' youth and their confused, angry, or ambivalent families? 

Or the ethics of Harm Reduction through supplying syringes and sex protection products to SUD clients who continue to engage in high-risk behavior?

What are the consummate ethical elements in effective Clinical Supervision? And do you need clarification about the role of ethics in  the Scope of Practice that is designated for your professional license? 

Are there ethical ways to work with sexually trafficked emancipated minor adolescents living on the street, and ways to share their information with Federal prosecutors of trafficking perpetrators? 

Are there professional, legal and ethical risks in taking 'short-cuts' in the assessment of children? And can you work ethically with clients when the HMO is paying the bill and limits the kind of care you can provide to your clients?

And does your practice know research-based, ethical approaches to helping terminally ill adults and children and their grieving families or partners address End of Life care issues?
