While laws and policies are a good starting point, there may be some challenging situations in prevention that are not clearly prescribed by regulations. This training is designed to help attendees make ethical choices in their work every day. This training will review, discuss, and apply the requirements in order to ensure prevention practitioners are operating within the guidelines. Goals & Objectives: Define ethics and related terms. Describe the six principles in the Prevention Code of Ethics. Use an ethical decision-making process to apply the Prevention Code of Ethics. Two 15-minute breaks are included. 60 minutes are provided for lunch on your own.
