Ethical Challenges When Living in a Small State

Tuesday, October 11
3:00-4:30pm
Online / Zoom
Free Training

Training Description: Vermont Recovery Coaches often come face-to-face with the challenges of living and working in a small state. It is common for Recovery Coaches to see their clients at recovery meetings, at the grocery store, or in other places in the community. In these situations, how does a Recovery Coach ensure they act in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics? In this interactive training, participants will dive into real-life case studies of these situations and learn what to do and how to avoid crossing the line.

Learning Objectives: 

• Discuss common experiences Recovery Coaches face in small, rural communities.
• Relate the basic principles contained in the Code of Professional Ethics.
• Know where to find the answers to detailed ethical questions for their practice.
• Identify the scope of practice within our lane: motivational interviewing, resource provision.
• Define how ethics, values, morals, laws, and boundaries are understood in recovery coaching.
• Appreciation of personal choices in morals and values.
• Appreciation of universality of ethics and boundaries.
