Ethical Challenges to Responsible Clinical Supervision
Providing responsible “good” clinical supervision requires skills, knowledge and curiosity. We work in a multidisciplinary mental health system which puts stress on clinical supervisors to understand codes of ethics from different professional perspectives. This training will explore some of the more common ethical dilemmas through the eyes of different professional codes of ethics.
Objectives of this training
Participants will
1. review clinical supervisor skills: understanding the supervisee needs (models)
2. share the most common ethical dilemmas per licensure board and risk assessment complaints
3. explore different codes of ethics regarding risks and benefits of boundaries in mental health
4. discuss the impact of navigating (or not) these boundaries for clinical supervisors –(explore both ignoring or challenging the boundary issues) impact on agency, clinicians, profession, clients,
This training will be both didactic and experiential. Please come with your clinical and supervision codes of ethics and an open mind.
