Working with Special Groups
Choose a special group from Topic 8 to research. Then, research four websites of agencies or organizations that can assist a behavioral health worker in ethical practice when working with clients in a special group. Wite what each of these four organizations specifically has to offer the behavioral health worker in making ethical choices and decisions when working with the special group identified.
The following should be included in your presentation:
How might these organizations help decrease personal biases?
Are there any suggestions on the website that discuss ethical considerations or special considerations when working with special groups that have ethical undercurrents? For example, when working with disabled individuals using language and terminology that is affirming and supportive of their “abilities” rather than “disabilities” would lend to the ethic of beneficence.
How would involvement in one of these organizations contribute to following the ACA Code of Ethics standards: A.1.d, A.2.c, A.1.a, A.4.a, A.4.b, and A.7.a?
Additionally Create a one- to two-page pamphlet or handout as a resource to share with your classmates including each of the four agencies or organizations you researched and presented in the essay.
The pamphlet or handout must include the following:
Location and contact information
Resources
Any tips or suggestions
Which special group the organizations or agencies are intended to serve
Efficacy rates or research on their methodology if available
