Program Description
Couples and family therapy can be exciting, yet daunting work; therefore, it requires a thorough understanding of the ethics involved in providing sound clinical protocol while working with clients.

Learning Objectives
- Participants will explore how personal values impact their work with couples.
- Participants will identify ethical strategies to work with couples virtually.
- Participants will analyze treatment modalities to ensure goodness of fit when working with couples.
- Participants will examine common ethical dilemmas faced when working with couples.
