Ep 12 - Summary of the ACA Code of Ethics
In this episode, I go over the ACA Code of Ethics. I talk about its purpose, core values, and summarize each section of this manual.PS: I know that we have students pursuing different degrees (social work, marriage and family therapy, psychology, etc), and not everyone follows the ACA Code of Ethics. However, I believe that many ethical guidelines will correlate with one another, so anyone in the field of counseling can benefit from this.Did you like this episode?
