ETHICS, SUPERVISION, BOUNDARIES, AND STATE LAW — A BENEFIT FOR BREITENBUSH HOT SPRINGS (sold out)
We're delighted to offer this Ethics, Law, and Supervision as a benefit to help Breitenbush Hot Springs with its rebuilding process after last year's fires. All proceeds from the class will go to the Breitenbush Hot Springs fund. If you're not familiar with what's going on at Breitenbush, you can click here for more information. Also, if you're unable to take the class but would like to contribute to the Breitenbush restoration process, you can click here.
The class will begin with a thorough review of state massage law, and some interesting, important, and occasionally upsetting changes to the law. We will also cover the new Washington State massage laws going into effect on September 1st, 2021.
After a review of professional ethics, roles, and boundaries, we will take a more personal approach to professional ethics. Ethics is a living subject and is best learned in a live, interactive format. As massage practitioners, we work closely and intimately with our clients, but we often experience isolation and burnout in our own practices. When ethical conflicts, confusions, and challenges inevitably arise, we often feel that we have no place to take them.
In this peer supervision class, we will explore your current professional issues and dilemmas, whether they be interpersonal, ethical, financial, COVID-related, or other. This is not a hypothetical or 'you should eat your vegetables' approach to ethics, but rather an opportunity to draw support and gain insight from your peers and mentors as you deal with whatever your real ethical issues or conflicts are. The class size will be quite small and intimate, with two instructors and a maximum of nine students. You will return to your practice refreshed and with a deeper sense of clarity.
“Finally, an ethics class that is substantive, useful and not onerous!! I may never be able to tolerate the alternatives again.” -Darlene Sluder

"This class was far better time spent than an internet facsimile of an ethics class." -Christian Green
“I didn’t anticipate that I would come to feel in community with 10 strangers so quickly. It’s helpful and humanizing to hear other people’s stories and what they are wrestling with in their practices, and also have the opportunity to sort through some of my own questions with a supportive community.” -Alice Hunting
