Workshop Description

Ethics in Victim Services is designed to help victim assistance professionals analyze and resolve the ethical dilemmas they face. Ethical decision-making is a skill to be acquired. This workshop on ethical practice is a skill-building resource that will help victim assistance providers think through common ethical dilemmas. It offers practical tools and problem-solving techniques for addressing ethical challenges as they develop. Exercises in ethical decision-making allow individuals and groups the benefit of forethought: the chance to practice the process. This workshop is designed for participants who are well-versed in professional ethical standards in the field of victim assistance.
