The Ethics of Inclusivity & Advocacy:
What is a Clinician’s Role?
Clinicians are called to be advocates for their patients and communities. But what does inclusivity and advocacy look like in the therapy room? This class will explore the clinician’s ethical responsibilities to promote inclusion, empowerment, and advocacy in their work. During this hybrid session, not only will we explore ethical codes and frameworks, but participants will also have the opportunity to brainstorm a plan to incorporate inclusive practices into their clinical work.
