Ethics in Private Practice Homestudy STUDENT/NON-CE - 2 HOURS

CE Hours 2

About this course

This intermediate recorded webinar examined ethical decision-making in contemporary mental health practice through the use of applied frameworks and real-world case discussions. Content emphasized how ethical challenges are shaped by context, including differences in access to care, community size, technology use, power dynamics, and client vulnerability. Multiple ethical frameworks were introduced to support flexible, culturally responsive reasoning rather than rigid rule application. Case examples reflected diverse client populations, practice settings, and professional roles across psychology, social work, and psychiatry. This training prompted reflection, peer learning, and practical application to participants' current clinical work.
