CMH 6665 - Professional Counseling Orientation & Ethics


Credit(s): 3

This course covers significant practice-based challenges for clinical mental health and substance abuse counselors. The course includes a review of ethical standards and guidelines that have been developed by various helping professions, focusing on clinical mental health counseling, the American Counseling Association and the ACA code of ethics, as well as addiction counseling.  It examines common tensions, polarities, practical implications and moral conflicts within which the counselor must exercise discretion and judgment, and explores the legal and ethical frameworks through which these decisions must be considered.  Specific topics include credentialing in students’ respective states, HIPAA and 42CFR 2. Through discussion, role play, real-time case examples and guest speakers, students deepen their understanding and commitment to the multiple roles of counselors in a multiagency, interdisciplinary context.
