About the Program
The world seems to be spinning faster and faster these days, and the call to social justice greater and greater. As clinicians, what is our responsibility to social justice? What is our role in pursuing social change? How do we wade through the ethical quagmires? This workshop will assist clinicians in defining social change, identifying the roles we play in upholding social justice, and explore the ethical decision making process as it relates to social change.
Exposure to violence and abuse also has implications for the healers including safety concerns and compassion fatigue. We will consider personal and systemic support for professional resiliency.
Objectives for the day:
- Define Social Justice and identify the role we as helping professional play
- Explore Codes of Ethics and identify steps to ethical decision making
- Determine strategies to elicit our professional responsibility to social justice
