The management of ethics, boundaries and confidentiality is especially challenging for human service professionals who provide services in the client’s living environment including the client’s home, residential programs, emergency shelters, transitional living centers, skilled care facilities, assisted and supported living centers and Hospice facilities. This workshop will address the unique issues encountered during the provision of these in-home services and will provide a framework for ethical decision-making.

Learning Objectives:

  1. New ways to address boundary issues.
  2. How to avoid the potential for dual relationships.
  3. The importance of using the NASW Ethics audit in programs that cover both client services and personnel management.
  4. Ethical decision-making processes and best practice models to identify and address complicated scenarios in programs providing in-home services.
