SUMMARY:[ORN] Ethics\, Values & Boundaries- The Foundation for Peer Service Work
DESCRIPTION:This full-day\, interactive training helps peer workers\, supervisors\, and program leaders navigate the ethical questions that come with holding a professional role and a lived experience at the same time.

Offers 6 NAADAC CE credits. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nDistinguish values\, morals\, ethics\, and laws\, and how each shapes peer practice\nIdentify your own core values and where they align or conflict with your organization\nApply confidentiality regulations\, including 42 CFR Part 2\nRecognize rigid\, porous\, and healthy boundaries\, and the warning signs of boundary drift\nWork through role clarity\, dual relationships\, and emotional\, sexual\, and financial exploitation\nApply a four-step ethical decision-making process to real situations\n\nWhat You’ll Take Away \nTwo working tools you keep: the Boundary Management Worksheet for sorting common interactions along a vulnerability continuum\, and the Ethical Decision-Making Worksheet for identifying harm\, values\, standards\, and what to document. Participants also leave with a written set of personal core values and a curated resource list covering 42 CFR Part 2\, SAMHSA core competencies\, and INAPS national guidelines. \nFunding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 1H79TI088037 from SAMHSA.
