Course Descriptions
Ethics in the Helping Professions explores why good counselors go bad, why you shouldn't use a stock tip you got from a client, and why dinner and a movie with your client's cousin is a bad idea. It also reviews an ethical code, the importance of setting appropriate boundaries, and the basic ethical principles governing the helping professions.
Helping Clients in Early Recovery prepares professionals for dealing with the frustrations clients may face in the first year of recovery. This training shows professionals how to help clients move from denial through of the first five steps of AA/NA. Each participant is provided with a 167-page workbook Hauling it to the Curb: Cleaning Up Your Life in Early Recovery.
Relapse Prevention teaches professionals how to help consumers break the cycle of chronic relapse. They should develop ways to monitor their own responses to relapse. We will look at the popularly held belief that relapse is part of recovery. Using cognitive techniques in conjunction with Twelve Step programs will be stressed. We will also look at ways to increase leverage, and when to say “I give up” as a means of prodding consumers into recovery.
Suicide, Violence, Mental Illness, & Addiction alerts professionals to the connection between violence, suicide, mental illness, and/or addiction. You will be given information on spotting and preventing violence and suicide among MI/SA consumers. The cycles of violence and suicide attempts will be discussed with an eye on how to intervene at each stage. How substance abuse and symptoms impact people at each stage will be discussed.
Lessons from the Big Book examines Alcoholics Anonymous (the ‘Big Book’), the foundation of the Twelve Step recovery movement. The purpose of this training is to enlighten treatment providers as to the content, and how it can be used in treatment.
Burnout: Clinical, Ethical, & Supervisory Issues describes how to recognize, avoid, and overcome burnout. This training also considers the effects of burnout on treatment, arguing that treatment professionals have an ethical duty to take care of themselves. This training also explores a supervisor's role in dealing with staff burnout.
