Presentation Structure

Your presentation should abide by the following structure:

· Slide One:

. Title Page.

· Slide Two:

. Review the state laws and regulations relating to the practice of counseling for your specialization. These requirements help define the unique aspects of the relationship between counselors and the clients/students served. Describe how your state’s legal standards help guide counselors to establish ethical relationships with clients and students through specific requirements (for example, informed consent, managing boundaries, and payment for services). Include ethical codes/standards and state statutes which need to be considered for guiding the counselor. 

· Slide Three:

. Explore ethical and legal documentation protocol for both written and when technology is used. Consider security concerns and steps a counselor must take to safeguard client’s privacy.

· Slide Four:

. Explore ethical codes/standards and state statutes which need to be considered for guiding the counselor providing distance counseling to their clients/students. Something to consider will be changes (permanent and temporary) implemented due to COVID-19. MHC learners will also want to consider implications to billing, if any. SC learners may find benefit in identifying a school district as a hypothetical site of practice to help guide with department of education and school district policy. (Distance counseling can also be referred to telemental health.) 

· Slide Five:

. Describe how you would account for diverse populations when offering clients/students distance counseling services. Remember that clients are not all equipped to understand the jargon of the counseling profession.

· Slide Six: Case Application 1.

. Ethical codes and standards (included in ACA, AMHCA, ASCA, and NBCC) help to guide the relationship between counselors and clients/students. Review the case examples below and describe specific ethical codes/standards and any relevant legal standards that guide counselors in your specialization to manage the relationship for the appropriate scenario below:

. Mental Health Counseling learners, address the following: The county mental health services department where you work has initiated a distance counseling option to increase access to residents who live in more rural areas of the county that are underserved. You are being asked to run a virtual support group for new parents. Your director has suggested that you use a live chat at set times to facilitate this group. Explain the challenges you will need to address to establish and maintain ethical relationships with group members. 

. School Counseling learners, address the following: Your school is establishing a new page on the school website to combat cyber-bullying. In addition to educational materials, a staff member proposes that there will be a link to open a chatbox that the school counselors will monitor. You recognize that this unsecured mode of communication will pose many ethical challenges. Explain this to the principal and explain how another option, such as secure email, may be more appropriate. 

· Slide Seven: Case Application 2.

· Ethical codes and standards (included in ACA, AMHCA, ASCA, and NBCC) help to guide the relationship between counselors and clients/students. Review the case examples below and describe specific ethical codes/standards and any relevant legal standards that guide counselors in your specialization to manage the relationship for the appropriate scenario below:

. Mental Health Counseling learners, address the following: Your client, Dillon, a 15-year-old female Native American heterosexual high-school sophomore, is on probation for knowingly receiving stolen goods (helped to resell items friends stole). Dillon has appeared in court numerous times before due to relatable charges. This time, the judge mandated Dillon to attend 8 weeks of mental health counseling. Dillon would like you to communicate with her probation officer to verify that she is making positive changes in her life. What do you need to do to help Dillon understand before you initiate contact with the probation officer? What information will you be able to share with the probation officer? How will you manage the communications?

. School Counseling learners, address the following: A student, Daryn, a 17-year-old half Dominican and half Italian American heterosexual male is returning to school (Junior year of High school) after a brief suspension due to charges associated with selling drugs. You have an established relationship with Daryn and will continue to meet regularly. Daryn is on probation and the probation officer has reached out to request that you confirm attendance records and any disciplinary issues at school. How will you manage your relationship with Daryn and address the probation officer’s request?
