Ethical Concerns When Working with Children and Adolescents
Tracking # 20-861533
Course overview
Behavioral health professionals who support children must be prepared for the unique experience of supporting children instead of adults in mental health. Children have unique needs, symptom presentation, and experience in treatment. They are also highly vulnerable to inappropriate bonding, abuse, neglect, and other issues regarding boundaries. Because of this, and because they simply deserve the best care, there are strong ethics that professionals must follow when supporting children in behavioral health. This course will review information related to the ethical concerns when working with children and adolescents as well as how to address them.
