Description
In our work, when we discuss boundary violations, we're talking about situations where we cross lines that are generally accepted in our profession, potentially harming our clients. A serious breach in ethics can seriously shake up the counseling process, impacting your clients’ mental health and progress—and it might even cause them to step away from therapy. Understanding what leads to these issues is key because they can also spark job dissatisfaction, burnout, and, worst-case scenario, the loss of your job or license.
Don't lose out on advancing your professional practice with our top boundaries courses for counselors! Join us for a nationwide live webinar, "The Anatomy of a Boundary Crossing" one of our top boundaries courses for counselors, with the incredible Eric Groh, LPC BC-TMH CPCS ACS! Dive deep into the world of counseling boundaries and elevate your ethical game with insights from one of Georgia’s top ethics trainers. Secure your spot and get ready for an eye-opening experience!
Throughout this training, participants will reflect on their own encounters with ethical challenges. Drawing on Eric’s extensive background as a former Licensing Board President and ethics consultant, Eric will cover vital topics like dual relationships, breaches of confidentiality, and the process of making ethical decisions. The workshop is vital for everyone who wants to improve their ethical abilities and remain ahead of regulatory requirements! Whether you’re an LCSW, LPC, or LMFT, this is your chance to up your game.
We’ll cover practical ethical decision-making frameworks and tackle the most common challenges counselors face. Plus, we'll clarify the difference between boundary crossings and violations, and develop personalized strategies suited to their specific clinical settings and roles.
Course Highlights
Let's set the record straight—boundary crossings and dual relationships aren't just about intimate or sexual boundaries. It's much broader than that. For instance, bartering with a client means you've turned into each other's customers, and this can quickly become an adversarial relationship.
Join us at the webinar to uncover more surprising boundary crossing examples that might not be on your radar. These scenarios can challenge your professional boundaries in unexpected ways.
The training is particularly beneficial for clinicians mandated by licensing boards to fulfill continuing education requirements, offering a unique opportunity to learn from actual complaints investigations and preventive measures.
