Course Description





This intermediate-level course on ethics is designed for health practitioners, counselors, therapists, social workers, nurses and other clinicians seeking to strengthen their understanding and application of ethical principles in practice. 


Through 12 comprehensive modules taught over 12 weeks, participants will explore a wide range of essential topics related to ethics such as identifying personal biases, recognizing cognitive distortions, maintaining proper boundaries, assessing risk, handling power differentials, and more. 


Using real-world case examples, role plays, discussions and applied activities, learners will build self-awareness of their own blind spots and limitations. They will learn to apply an ethical decision-making process grounded in principles of respect, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. 


The course is structured for optimum interactivity and skill-building. Modules incorporate individual and small group work, culminating in a final project where participants develop an ethics toolkit for their own practice contexts. 


On completing this course, clinicians will enhance their ability to:


- Practice self-reflection to minimize influence of biases and assumptions

- Document thoroughly and maintain appropriate professional boundaries

- Assess risk conscientiously while respecting patient autonomy


This in-depth certification program offers practical guidance for any helping professional seeking to integrate the highest ethical standards into their clinical work and decision-making. Participants will embark on an insightful journey of continuous learning.
