Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes hosted a presentation on the 2023 NBCC code of ethics, emphasizing the application of ethics to behavior and organizations, respecting clients' humanity, and avoiding arrogance. Counselors are encouraged to maintain civility on social media, listen to clients with respect, and engage in dialogues to seek answers. Short treatment programs can leave clients feeling 'cured,' but moving in together post-treatment is risky without structure. Counselors should enhance clients' well-being, address impacts of stress, and advocate for resources in underserved communities. The 2023 NBCC code includes principles like non-maleficence, autonomy, beneficence, and justice, ensuring clients' rights to informed consent and fair treatment. Ethical decision-making involves assessing benefits and consequences, considering clients' rights, and seeking consultation. Extensive training is required for working with children and treating specific issues, and counselors must accurately represent their qualifications. Addressing unethical behavior, obtaining supervision, and staying updated on legal changes are crucial for maintaining professional standards.
