IMH Statewide Training

Ethics, boundaries, and culture:

Considerations when providing infant mental health services to very young children and their families – Part ONE

(Must work/practice in Michigan to attend)

This training series is for you if you work in Michigan in the 0-6  field: i.e. infant and early childhood mental health therapists, early care and education, Early On, Early Head Start, HFA home visitors, foster care, pediatricians, nurses, etc. For those working towards Endorsement®, this training series is a wonderful addition to your Endorsement® Application! 

Description:
Infant and early childhood mental health home professionals use the therapeutic relationship to promote family growth and change.  Relationship-based work, the intimacy of the home, and the presence of a very young child can, in combination, blur the boundaries between the practitioner’s professional and personal responses and can add complexity to the identification of ethical issues. Central to our work and critical to assessing and understanding ethical and boundary issues is a cultural- and diversity-informed lens. This training will integrate this lens throughout our exploration of ethics, ethical theory, and ethical decision-making within infant mental health work.This training series will include discussion of ethical theory and ethical decision-making frameworks with a focus on real-world experiences.  Case examples (from the presenters and from the participants) will be used to bring the content to life by integrating theory and practice through case presentations and small group discussions.
