PRATICE I: INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIESETHICS CASE REVIEW KEY ASSIGNMENTOftentimes, social workers will be faced with situations where there is no clear decision to make when working with individuals or families. In these situations, social workers often rely on the profession’s Code of Ethics. Ethical codes embody the values of the profession and guide the behavior of social workers. Although the code of ethics does not always provide a clear direction when making decisions, it is a useful tool for identifying possible areas of difficulty, and it offers guidelines for social workers when making decisions. The purpose of this assignment is to further understand the code of ethics and learn how to apply the code of ethics to a client situation(s). To accomplish this, you will choose two scenarios below, and respond to the questions outlined here:1) Title page (page 1) a. Include a running head, page number, title of your document, date of submission, course number, and professor name 2) Abstract (1/2 page)a. Abstracts are typically written last and are a general summary of your assignment. It is included after your title page, before your introduction. Your abstract should be a single paragraph, written in 150-250 words and double spaced. 3) Ethics case review (your instructor will determine the page length) a. Provide an introduction and then discuss the, or the potential, ethical violation in the scenario(s). Then, discuss any social work values, laws or regulations that pertain to the scenario. Explain why each one you list pertains to this scenario. b. Using the Social Work Code of Ethics, identify aminimum of 3 ethical standards that can be applied to this case.

Carson’s mother told the social worker that Carson seemed to be struggling with “sexual orientation issues”. The mother asked the social worker to keep this information confidential. One week later, the principal stopped by the social worker’s office and mentioned that she had received a complaint from another student that Carson had harassed the other student. The principal wanted to know “what was going on” with Carson and asked to see the social worker’s notes. The social worker hesitated with her response, and the principal insisted the social worker share whatever relevant information she had about her client.Scenario 2: Preston FamilyA social worker referred the Preston family to an educational consultant to help the family locate a specialized school for their son, Ryan, who had behavioral challenges and academic difficulties. Ryan was placed in an alternative high school in a neighboring community. As part of the school’s program, parents participate in monthly meetings of a support group. Coincidentally, the social worker’s son also attended this school. The social worker and his wife attended the monthly meetings, during which they had disclosed some personal information about their family’s life. The social worker was uneasy about attending these meetings with his clients present.Scenario 3: AliciaA 15-year-old high school student, Alicia, was referred to the school-based social worker who provides mental health treatment at a local school to help deal with her depression. For several months the social worker provided Alicia with counseling to help with her depression. Recently Alicia lost a great deal of weight; her physician contacted the social worker and expressed concerns about the possibility of a serious eating disorder. The social worker has a lot of clinical experience but did not have training in the treatment of eating disorders. The nearest specialist in treatment of eating disorders is 2 states away.Ethical Scenario #4: SkyeA social worker working at a school with students with serious physical disabilities learned from the parents of one of the social worker’s clients, an 11-year-old girl named Skye, that they sleep with their daughter.

I need to do an observation journal of the advertisements I have been working with. I have attached the Guidelines and Rubric, so you know what needs to be done. I have also attached and example observation journal that you can go off of. I have attached the links to the 4 advertisements, plus the comparison exercise that you completed for me. So, between the Guidelines and the Journal Example that I included, I think that will guide you in what needs to be done for this project. Thank You!!

Week 4 Topic: "ETHICS AND LEGAL ISSUES" What are some of the legal issues faced by counselors? Find a good example of an ethical case in a journal article or web article. How should one prepare to respond to these issues? There are some examples of ethical dilemmas in this week's movie moments and in chapter 14 of the textbook.  Use the Code of Ethics Links (which are located under (Week 4) to provide support to your post as you think through the correct ethical choices   Respond to two peers  peeers 1. I foresee one of the biggest ethical issues for me, even in the line of work that I do, is when to break confidentiality. Now I know the textbook answer on when you can and can’t break confidentiality, but I worry that I am misinterpreting the situation. As a crisis counselor for 988, the national suicide prevention line, I talk to people all the time who are currently in a state of crisis. Now regardless of how significant, or insignificant, that problem may seem to me, I have to gauge the intent, desire, and means that this stranger has to potentially harm themselves or others. Now I know, all I can do is my best with the information that I have, but my biggest fear is that I will judge the situation so poorly that it hurts the caller in some way rather than help them. The legal issues in counseling can look like a variety of different situations some of which may directly violate your own ethical values. Legal issues can be criminal activity involving a minor child, sexual misconduct, breach of confidentiality, suicide, violation of civil rights, etc. (Kottler 2015). In the job field I have chosen I have been told that the more experience you have the more accurate your judgments and “gut feelings” become, but when it comes to someone’s life I think you can never be too careful. I have learned to trust myself and the training that I have received, and I am always learning new information so I can always be the best version of myself. Ethical issues can be challenging to deal with, and it may be “the easy” thing to look the other way, but I’ve learned to always ask the hard, or serious, questions and it has helped me be an effective crisis counselor.WC:317Avasthi, A., Grover, S., & Nischal, A.

(2015). Introduction to counseling: Voices from the field. (8th ed.).  Peer 2   There are several ethical issues surrounding counselors. As this is fairly new territory due to the lack of a road map or proper guidance as to what is acceptable in a situation of confidentiality. As the text states, your first client is a 16-year-old boy involved in criminal activity with the possibility of being abused at home. This situation is possible in any counseling session. As a counselor you are unsure of whether to inform the parents of his doings or report abuse to social services. The duty of a counselor is for the well-being of the client, in this case the 16-year-old boy. In this situation both the parents and possibly social services need to be contacted but there will be a breach in confidentiality. Every client has their own personalized process of handling similar situations. There are also rules and laws that can be followed. The consultation of an experienced practitioner should be seeked in an event where there can be conflicting outcomes.            In a situation as such, as counselor it is important to analyze the information given by the client. Differentiating the truth can be timely and difficult. However, the client’s safety and well-being are important. If the client does say they are in a situation where help is needed, then it is ethical to report the information to the right authorities; this is done with the client’s consent. Without the client’s consent, reporting the information can easily break trust in the relationship and instill fear to the client. The possibility of the client being placed in more danger should be considered.            Each state and place of practice has their own rules and regulations as to what can be reported and what is confidential. In many cases it is left to the counselor to decide. As always, when uncertain seek advice of those who have more experience. Confidentially is very important between client and counselor. This is the initial step in building a healthy and trusting relationship when someone seeks guidance and help with issues, they may not even be aware of.Word Count: 345Reference:American Psychological Association (2002) Reporting past abuse, Part II https://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug02/ethicsKottler, A. & Shepard, D.
