Ethics Primer

(Self-Paced, 10 hours)

This course will review CCPA’s code of ethics and standards of practice, providing an essential foundation for ethical practice. Students will review and apply the CCPA ethical decision-making model to case vignettes that include a variety of ethical dilemmas and complex counselling challenges involving “shades of grey.” For counsellors who haven’t previously completed an ethics course recognized by CCPA, this self-directed, online course serves as a foundation for the Ethics Refresher course, which is more in-depth and instructor-led.

Ethics Refresher 

(3-Week Facilitated, 20 hours)

Building from Ethics Primer or previous training in counselling/psychotherapy ethics, this follow-up, facilitated online course will dig deeper, exploring best practices for ethical counselling according to CCPA’s code of ethics and standards of practice. Students will discuss ethical “grey areas” in current counselling practice; course activities will require personal reflection about values, culture, context, and decision-making processes as ethical knowledge is translated to practice through working with real and hypothetical scenarios.

Life Strategies has always been a remote workplace with staff and associates working across a wide variety of traditional, ancestral, unceded, and occupied Indigenous Lands. We want to take a moment to acknowledge the territory we are currently working from and to thank the Nation(s)for allowing us to live, work, and play on their traditional lands; we invite you to do the same.
