Through case studies, discussions, and ethical decision-making frameworks, students learn how to uphold best practices, protect client well-being, and navigate referrals effectively. At the end of the course, students are equipped to integrate ethical principles into their work, ensuring responsible care to individuals, couples and families, teams, organizations, and systems according to their identified professional role and scope of practice.
