As a therapist trying to meet the clinical and legal responsibilities of our profession + personal obligations, it can become easy to put our own well-being on the backburner.
This is a slippery slope which can have clinical and ethical implications.
Therapist Well-Being: An Ethical Consideration for Therapists is a 3 hour course that will explore the ways in which tending to therapist well-being is an ethical standard. The course references the Code of Ethics for various Minnesota mental health professions.

Workshop Description:
We will review and discuss the Code of Ethics for various Minnesota mental health professions in the context of therapist well-being. We will practice implementing an ethical decision making model to evaluate common clinical scenarios in order to determine the best course of action for therapists to tend to their own well-being while also ensuring quality client care. You will leave this course with tangible strategies to support you in tending to your own well-being while meeting your ethical obligations as licensed (or pre-licensed) therapist in Minnesota.
