Prevention Ethics in St. Johnsbury

As a substance misuse prevention professional, you regularly face situations that involve ethics. Often it is clear how to act ethically, but in some situations you may not be aware of your ethical responsibility or know how to respond ethically. While laws and policies are a good starting point, there are many situations you will face that may not be clearly prescribed by regulations. Prevention Ethics can help you make ethical choices in your work every day. This training describes the six principles in the Prevention Code of Ethics, along with realistic examples and opportunities to discuss, enhance, and assess your understanding of each principle. It also introduces a decision-making process designed to help you apply this code to a variety of ethical dilemmas.

This training is free to attend and will take place at the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium in St. Johnsbury, VT. Coffee and lunch will be provided.
