Monthly Ethics Forum
Apr 24
Monthly Ethics Forum

The ethics forum is held every 4th Wednesday of the month from noon to 1 pm. Each forum is geared toward a specific topic where MnCA members can offer their insight into ethical dilemmas and ethical decision-making. The ethics forum serves as a safe space to discuss ethical issues that counselors may encounter.

May CEU: Red Flag Gun Law: Duties

May CEU: Red Flag Gun Law: Duties

We will examine this expansion in duties as well as the companion duty to advise law enforcement as regards whether the client should lose access to a firearm. Some key issues will include ethical decision-making, risks of taking action, thresholds for breaching confidentiality, and the construction of client information informing them of the limits of privacy. One of the challenges in such situations is the slippery slope as regards inquiry about firearms and the danger of slipping into an investigative role that is not consistent with clinical focus on the client.
