Ethical decision-making is particularly challenging with adolescents because legal rights\, ethical concerns\, and guidelines change as clients age. An ethical humility framework enables you to support your client’s growth and development while upholding your professional responsibilities. \nExploring the micro and macro levels of ethical humility in your work with adolescents ensures that you support your clients’ rights to self-advocacy in your professional role. The complex interplay of individual and parental rights with varied laws and guidelines requires careful consideration. As a child progresses from adolescence to adulthood\, their decision-making capacity evolves. Developing an ethical decision-making process ensures that adolescent clients receive appropriate care from professionals. Adopting an ethical humility perspective strengthens the professional’s ability to meet the client where they are. \nEthical decision-making is crucial for all professionals working with adolescents. This intermediate-level virtual course is appropriate for psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, and other helping professionals who work with adolescents in their practice. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the framework of ethical humility as applied to working with adolescents.\nDescribe the impact of changing developmental stages in addressing ethical dilemmas with adolescents.\nUtilize ethical humility principles in communication with their clients to prevent\, assess\, and manage ethical dilemmas.\nDevelop a plan regarding professional consultation to address ethical dilemmas.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura Gaines\, MSW\, LISW-S.\, is a trainer and researcher with a current focus on resilience as an individual and community skill.

Changing the Narrative is an interactive conversation that empowers participants to change perceptions of mental health towards hope and resilience. The goal is to know that individuals are not alone\, help is available\, and healing is possible. \nThroughout the session\, participants will engage in dialog about being intentional in the words we are using. Certain ways of talking about mental health and suicide can alienate members of any community\, sensationalize the issue\, contribute to a decrease in help-seeking behavior\, or even present suicide as a glamorous\, preferred way of dealing with problems. Having healthy conversations about mental health and suicide avoids harmful messages that might increase suicide risk in individuals or undermine suicide prevention goals. By doing this safely\, it reduces stigma\, mitigates risks\, promotes help-seeking\, and respects all individuals. \nAbout the Trainer\n \nTanya Carter is the Suicide Prevention Unit Supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Health. Ms. Carter has 20 plus years of experience in community education programs\, program development\, and crisis intervention. She is passionate about suicide prevention and reducing the stigma related to mental illness. Prior to joining the Minnesota Department of Health\, Ms. Carter worked in tribal and county government\, coordinating and leading mental health\, mobile crisis\, and suicide prevention efforts in rural Minnesota. Ms. Carter is a safeTALK\, ASIST\, Postvention and CALM trainer. In her free time Ms. Carter enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two children\, in the winter time you will find her on the ski slopes with her kids\, and in the summer months enjoying time at the lake\, the in-between seasons are spent biking the beautiful Minnesota bike trails. \nRegister Here\nThis training is free for all attendees. \n*Participants will be emailed a Zoom link one week prior and the day of the training. \nContinuing Education\nOne social work continuing education is provided.
