A 6-hour training with Jacqui Abikoff, LICSW, MLADC
June 1, 2023
8:30am – 4:00pm
PRESENTATION: This 6-hour training is designed specifically for clinicians in independent practice. Discussion will examine the various elements of ethical decisions independent practitioners may commonly encounter when working in isolation such as: billing and caseload concerns vs self-care, scope of practice vs practicing within one's scope of competence, difficulties setting limits on the scope of work, after-hours accessibility, and the imperative of practice sustainability and billable hours on decisions around turning away potential clients. This interactive training will allow for self-reflection as well as conversation and examination of potential ethical conflicts. Participants are encouraged to bring to the discussion examples of ethical dilemmas and internal conflicts they have faced.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Apply an ethical decision making model to real life ethical concerns;
- Recognize personal strengths and weaknesses in evaluating boundaries and limits set with clients and caseloads; and
- State at least two actions they could take to strengthen their clinical practice and or self-care.
