Trauma-informed care requires clinicians to move beyond awareness of trauma exposure and into ethically grounded clinical decision-making that protects both clients and counselors. This workshop examines ethical responsibilities that arise when working with trauma-exposed individuals, including boundary management, informed consent, clinical pacing, documentation, and counselor impairment. Participants will explore common ethical dilemmas encountered in trauma work and apply ethical decision-making models to real-world clinical scenarios. Emphasis is placed on maintaining clinical integrity, preventing harm, and sustaining ethical practice in the presence of complex trauma dynamics. Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to: Identify ethical risks and responsibilities specific to trauma-informed counseling practice. Apply ethical decision-making models to trauma-related clinical dilemmas. Integrate trauma-informed principles into ethical documentation and professional boundaries.
This workshop is virtual. All attendees will receive a Zoom link the night before the workshop.
