Helping Without Hurting
Ethically, it is important for mental health professionals to do good without doing harm
(i.e., practice both beneficence and nonmaleficence).
This workshop will consider ways of meeting this ethical obligation, but also will consider
the importance of balancing this care of patients with ongoing self-care that prevents harm to self.
