Title Page.
Slide Two
Review the state laws and regulations relating to the practice of counseling for your specialization. These requirements help define the unique aspects of the relationship between counselors and the clients and students served. Describe how your state’s legal standards help guide counselors to establish ethical relationships with clients and students through specific requirements (for example, informed consent, managing boundaries, and payment for services). Include ethical codes and state statutes which need to be considered for guiding the counselor.
Slide Three
Identify any state requirements specific to distance counseling and the impact upon the counseling profession (work with the clients and supervisee).
Slide Four
Describe how to communicate these requirements for diverse populations who may not understand professional jargon with a specific example related to distance counseling.
Slide Five: Case Application # 1
Ethical standards (included in ACA, AMHCA, ASCA, and NBCC ethical codes) help to guide the relationship between counselors and clients and students. Review the case examples below and describe specific ethical standards and any relevant legal standards that guide counselors in your specialization to manage the relationship for the appropriate scenario below:
Mental Health Counseling Learners, address the following: The county mental health services department where you work has initiated a distance counseling option to increase access to residents who live in more rural areas of the county that are underserved. You are being asked to run a virtual support group for new parents. Your director has suggested that you use a live chat at set times to facilitate this group. Explain the challenges you will need to address to establish relationships with group members.
School Counseling learners, address the following: Your school is establishing a new page on the school website to combat cyber-bullying. In addition to educational materials, a staff member proposes that there will be a link to open a chatbox that the school counselors will monitor. You recognize that this unsecured mode of communication will pose many ethical challenges. Explain this to the principal and explain how another option, such as secure email, may be more appropriate.
Slide Six: Case Application # 2
Ethical standards (included in ACA, AMHC, ASCA, and NBCC ethical codes) help to guide the relationship between counselors and clients and students. Review the case examples below and describe specific ethical standards and any relevant legal standards that guide counselors in your specialization to manage the relationship for the appropriate scenario below:
Mental Health Counseling learners, address the following: Your client, Dillon, is on probation for receiving stolen goods (helped to resell items friends stole). She would like you to communicate with her probation officer to verify that she is making positive changes in her life. What do you need to do to help Dillon understand before you initiate contact with the probation officer? How will you manage the communication?
School Counseling learners, address the following: A student, Daryn, is returning to school after a brief suspension due to charges associated with selling drugs. You have an established relationship with Daryn and will continue to meet regularly. Daryn is on probation and the probation officer has reached out to request that you confirm attendance records and any disciplinary issues at school. How will you manage your relationship with Daryn and address the probation officer’s request?
