This class will explore the clinician’s ethical responsibilities to promote inclusion, empowerment, and advocacy in their work. Not only will we explore ethical codes and frameworks, but participants will also have the opportunity to brainstorm a plan to incorporate inclusive practices into their clinical work.

 2 ETHICS CE's will be offered for Indiana licensed professionals (LCSW, LSW, LMHC, LMHC-A, LMFT, CAC, LCAC).

Learning objectives:
