Considering Ethics in Documentation of Clinical Supervision
As we become ethically sophisticated in clinical supervision, CACREP standards must be at the forefront of our minds when documenting trainee progress. Dr. Andi Johnson will demonstrate ethical documentation standards based on the NAADAC Code of Ethics for addiction counselor trainees and their supervisors. She will also address the eight domains of addiction counseling practice and counselor dispositions used to thoroughly assess addiction counselor trainees. Templates for documentation will be provided, and examples will be used in application procedures using these templates.
