Description
Social workers often face complex ethical problems that are specific to owning and operating a private practice. For example, how do you reconcile the ideal of social work selflessness with the very real self-interest of running a business? Which five billing mistakes commonly result in malpractice violations? When can offering a sliding scale be considered unethical? With the right information, learning to service and thrive in a private practice aligns with applying the highest standards of ethical principles. In this workshop, participants will explore the best solution for these common concerns.
