Ethical dilemmas rarely arrive as a clean “right vs. wrong.” More often, they show up as competing responsibilities, incomplete information, or a situation where any option carries some risk. This month, we’re going to practice something steadier than gut instinct: using structured ethical decision-making models to slow the moment down, clarify what’s actually being asked of you, and choose a path you can stand behind clinically, ethically, and in your documentation.

In our first July meeting, we’ll orient to three decision-making models and begin applying them to case vignettes—with attention to the differences (and overlaps) between counseling and social work ethics frameworks.
