Ethics Training

Primary Trainer/Consultant: Wayne Munchel LCSW

Workshop Title: The Ethics of Member / Staff Relationships

Abstract:  The psychosocial rehabilitation approach requires staff to interact with members in ways that typically are either not addressed or may even be considered harmful by the medical model. The result is that staff in PSR programs can become confused about the nature and the boundaries of their relationships with members. This workshop is designed to help staff understand how ethical and boundary issues manifest themselves in the PSR environment.

Workshop participants will begin by filling out a 20-question "Ethical Dilemmas" questionnaire that serves as the basis of discussion for the rest of the workshop. Using the participants’ questionnaire responses, the workshop will address such issues as power, exploitation, multiple relationships, self-disclosure, sexual, physical, and social contact between staff and members, and the merging of personal and professional lives.
