ETHICS, SUPERVISION, and BOUNDARIES (4 ce hours)
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, work-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 eleven students. You will return to your practice refreshed and with a deeper sense of clarity.
"The supervision portion was unlike anything I have had the opportunity to participate in and was extremely helpful to me.” - Sheila Ritchie
“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
“It was the best Ethics class I have taken in my 27 years of practice.” - Annette Berget
