Ethics in Private Practice

Professional Counselors are entrusted with providing counseling services to the public.  Independently Licensed Private Practitioners in Private Practice offer additional resources for the community to obtain necessary behavioral healthcare.  This being said--Counselors commit to uphold several key areas of legal responsibility and accountability to protect the public, the profession, themselves and continue the advancement of the profession. This webinar will review multiple relationships, boundaries and highlight some recent key ethical issues in Arizona.  

Learning Objective: Counselors will obtain a brief review of ethics as they pertain to the daily work of private practice.
