Compass Academy Live Online- Core Competencies- Ethics Workshop Part 1 and 2
Ethical Decision Making in Mental Health (Part 1)
Ethical dilemmas are an inevitable part of clinical work, yet they often trigger significant anxiety and imposter syndrome for even the most seasoned therapists. This session is designed to move beyond the "fear of the board" and into a space of clinical confidence and clarity.
Led by Stacy Phillips, a clinician certified in DBT and clinical supervision, this workshop bridges the gap between complex legal mandates and day-to-day therapeutic practice. You won’t just study the rules; you will learn how to apply them.
What You’ll Gain:
A Clear Framework: Master the hierarchy of ethical decision-making to understand when legal mandates take precedence and how to prioritize competing values.
Evidence-Based Tools: Learn to apply clinically researched ethical models to real-world dilemmas, ensuring your practice is both safe and sound.
Hands-On Experience: Move past theory through interactive role-plays that simulate the high-pressure scenarios you face in the consulting room.
Clinical Confidence: Deconstruct the "imposter syndrome" often associated with ethics and walk away feeling empowered to make difficult decisions with professional integrity.
Transform your approach to ethics from a source of stress into a foundation of clinical excellence. ---
Join us to gain the practical skills and peace of mind necessary to navigate the complexities of modern mental health practice.
Ethics in the Digital Age (Part 2 )
Artificial intelligence (AI) and social media are rapidly transforming the landscape of mental health practice. From AI-assisted documentation tools and chatbot-based interventions to clinicians’ professional presence on social media and emerging boundary challenges, these technologies introduce complex ethical considerations for practitioners.
Mental health professionals must navigate evolving technological standards while continuing to adhere to established professional ethical codes, including those of the American Counseling Association (ACA), American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and American Psychological Association (APA).
This course equips clinicians at all stages of their careers with practical, ethically grounded decision-making tools for integrating AI technologies and managing social media presence in clinical practice. Participants will explore key ethical principles related to confidentiality, informed consent, documentation, professional boundaries, and digital professionalism. Through case examples and applied decision-making frameworks, clinicians will learn strategies to responsibly incorporate emerging technologies while safeguarding client welfare, confidentiality, and professional integrity.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
Identify key ethical principles that apply to AI use in clinical mental health practice.
Analyze confidentiality, informed consent, and documentation risks related to AI-assisted tools.
Evaluate ethical challenges related to clinicians’ social media presence and client interactions online.
Apply ethical decision-making models to technology-related dilemmas.
Develop risk-mitigation strategies for integrating AI and managing digital presence responsibly.
Join us to gain the practical skills and peace of mind necessary to navigate the complexities of modern mental health practice.
