Ethics for Prevention Professionals
The work of prevention involves decisions regarding the treatment of others in the most important settings of their lives—the family, the school, and the workplace. But it also involves the community environment where policies and laws dictate acceptable behavior. The prevention professional needs to be guided by ethics and values that can help in these challenging areas of life. Click on the button below for more details on this course.
