Knowing how to work successfully with difficult clients who have diverse opinions 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 core ethical principles. In the course of this workshop we will consider issues raised by students, supervisees, clients, and colleagues, then develop a strategy for working well with difficult people. Participants are invited to discuss ethical dilemmas from their own experience.
Learning Objectives
- Identify a strategy for responding well to ethical dilemmas related to difficult clients, students, colleagues, and supervisees.

- Anticipate and resolve ethical challenges in their professional settings.
