Program Summary

Knowing how to work successfully with clients who have diverse opinions as well as clients who represent ethnic, racial, cultural, and gender diverse identities is essential.  This workshop will focus on positive ethics to provide a framework for responding to difficult situations.  Participants will examine ethical conflicts that can arise regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion in work with clients, and how solutions can be devised that highlight multicultural guidelines and core ethical principles. 

Learning Objectives

  1. Evaluate situations to identify ethical dilemmas using a frame of positive ethics.
  2. Use tenets of multiculturalism to guide decision-making and practice during ethical dilemmas.
  3. Identify ways of framing ethical dilemmas about multicultural issues that foster positive relationships with colleagues, supervisees, students, and clients, and promote the therapeutic alliance and therapeutic progress.
