CMH 6665 - Professional Counseling Orientation & Ethics
3 cr
This course covers significant practice-based challenges for clinical mental health and substance use counselors, within a broad understanding of professional counselors’ roles and functions. The course includes a review of ethical standards and guidelines that have been developed by the American Counseling Association. It also reviews guidelines from other helping professions. 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. Additional topics include a review of national and state credentialing, professional organizations (ACA, AMHCA and relevant state associations), related guidelines from substance use counseling, including the NAADAC Code of ethics, 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, as guided by the ACA guidelines, and as related to professional conduct in private practice, as well as in a multiagency, interdisciplinary context.
