When: Tuesday, May 20 - 12:00 PM
Duration: 1 hours 30 minutes
Location: Zoom
Event Details:
Family Peer Advocates (FPAs) provide invaluable support to families. One resource you have in guiding your work is the FPA Code of Ethics. These establish clear standards of conduct, facilitate ethical decision-making, and foster accountability among FPAs. This workshop will explore and enhance your understanding of the FPA Code of Ethics. Together, we will consider the ethical and professional principles of the FPA throughout the professional role. You will also understand how to approach colleagues regarding ethical concerns and dilemmas. This includes situations where there may be an ethical violation and you may have to file a complaint. The process for investigation, review and appeal will be reviewed. By the end of this offering, FPAs will be equipped with the knowledge to uphold the Code of Ethics thereby fostering an environment of integrity and ethical conduct for themselves and the families they support.
