As professionals devoted to caring for individuals who have experienced trauma, our commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards is unwavering. Nevertheless, even with our best skills and intentions, we may face challenges when confronted with ethical dilemmas. Join us for an exploration of the ethical dimensions inherent in supporting victims of crime. Rooted in the OVC Ethical Standards for Serving Victims & Survivors of Crime, this workshop is tailored to empower mental health professionals with the tools and knowledge essential for delivering compassionate and ethical care. We will examine the intersections between the OVC standards and LPC and Social Work Codes of Ethics, address real-world challenges encountered by providers, and explore avenues for decision-making when navigating ethical quandaries.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize and name two key principles from the OVC Ethical Standards for Serving Victims & Survivors of Crime

• Explain how the OVC Ethical Standards may align and/or differ with your profession’s code of ethics

• Describe the role of self-awareness in providing services to survivors

• Demonstrate understanding of basic steps for ethical decision making when a dilemma is present
