Ethical violations are not typically due to a professional forgetting or purposely ignoring “the rules.” Instead many ethical breaches occur because a professional stepped onto a slippery slope that led to the violation. In this workshop we are going to study situations that can unintentionally lead to violations, and explore tools to avoid or minimize risk, with a focus on good intentions, professional time mismanagement, and blurred boundaries.

· Participants will be able to describe trends and patterns in social service professional ethical views and violations.

· Participants will be able to identify behaviors and situations that can breach or protect client confidentiality.

· Participants will be able to recognize the ethical risks of, and mitigation of, professional time mismanagement.

· Participants will be able to describe the national definitions of multiple relationships and identify tools to maintain professional boundaries.
