Restorative Ethics:  A Meditative Exploration of Ethical Vulnerabilities and Strengths

Ethical challenges are inherent to clinical practice. Along with adhering to professional codes of ethics, clinicians need internal and external resources, and restorative practices to help develop and strengthen their own ethical intelligence and foster personal safeguards for ethical practice.

This workshop offers a unique and contemplative approach to addressing ethical challenges inherent in clinical practice.

Participants will learn Reflective Meditation, an innovative meditation process, and identify specific ethical challenges in their work, as well as enhance the strengths and supports that sustain ethical practice.

An exploration of the Buddhist concepts of Conditionality and the Eightfold Path will deepen understanding of the conditions that lead to ethical vulnerability and provide insights for ethical decision-making.

Learning Objectives:

–Identify areas of personal ethical challenges such as professional boundaries, confidentiality, dual relationships and/or mandatory reporting

–Identify and reduce conditions that create ethical vulnerabilities and challenges

–Identify and augment personal strengths and activities that lead to reduced risk of ethical transgressions

–Use meditation and reflective activities to gain a deeper understanding of specific ethical challenges and vulnerabilities

–Develop an understanding of the Buddhist principle of Conditionality and its application to ethical decision-making

–Develop an understanding of the Buddhist teaching of the Eightfold Path and its application to ethical decision-making

–Adopt an adaptation of ACA Code of ethics as workshop agreements

Join us in this transformative workshop to develop ethical insight and personal/professional growth. Limited spots available for a more personalized learning experience.
