Ethical Issues in Non-traditional Counseling Settings
|
Crisis counseling service delivery, because of its demanding nature and unique challenges, is different from any other kind of counseling. In fact, these settings may require more intimate knowledge of professional standards and relevant laws because extreme situations, such as those following a disaster or during a crisis, can produce more ethical uncertainty and require more diligent observance of guidelines than traditional counseling settings. This assignment will help counselors think through these unique circumstances and challenges counselors working in these settings may face.
Directions: In 3-4 pages: Identify three major ethical issues relevant to working with individuals in a crisis or when responding to a major disaster. Explain how you would navigate these issues to ensure ethical practice. Include strategies for how you would address interagency/interorganization collaboration and communications in a crisis or disaster scenario. Determine and explain self care strategies for counselors working in these settings (e.g., vicarious traumatization / preventing burnout), including a plan for taking care of yourself while working within the field of crisis or disaster mental health. Evaluate the role and process of the professional counselor advocating on behalf of survivors.
Your final product will be in a word document and be approximately 3-4 pages in length and utilize 2-3 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
