Dr. Fred Dombrowski


Counselors are working with clients who have various needs and unique experiences. As such, the individualized nature of counseling requires flexibility to treat every client with cultural humility and equity. However, ethical problems may arise when a client experiences a problem where core ethical principles can be in conflict. It is natural for counselors to feel overwhelmed, scared, and anxious during such instances. Appropriate preparation and support for counselors is needed to navigate such problems. This workshop will work with participants to identify potential ethical problems before they happen. Participants will walk through an ethical decision making process to help support them and their clients. Finally, participants will identify ways to avoid the most common ethical breaches experienced by counselors.

Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this course, learners will be able to:

  1. Identify warning signs for potential ethical dilemmas.
  2. Apply an ethical decision making model to real life situations.
  3. Identify how to avoid the most common ethical breaches.
