Part 1:
Ethical Dilemma Infographic
As a school counselor, you may be faced with ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. Therefore, it is essential that school counselors demonstrate an understanding of ethical standards and legal mandates by using decision-making models.
Using the “Solutions to Ethical Problems in Schools” decision-making model located in the topic resources, consider the following case study:
https://www.schoolcounselor.org/Magazines/November...
You are working as a middle school counselor and Student A (pseudonym may be used in place of Student A) requests to see you. During this individual meeting, Student A shares they have a concern about their friend, Student B (pseudonym may be used in place of Student B). Specifically, Student A shared that Student B has been self-harming and last night Student B sent alarming text messages via a group chat. Student A is concerned that Student B is suicidal. Student A and other friends in the group chat all encouraged Student B to tell their parents and come to the counseling office as Student B arrived at school. However, Student A shares that Student B is not in attendance at school.
Consider the professional and ethical obligations you have as a school counselor receiving this information from Student A. Consult ASCA’s Ethical Standards for School Counselors when completing this assignment.
Using the “Ethical Dilemma Infographic” template, located in the topic resources, elaborate on each of the nine steps pertaining to the ethical dilemma of the case study:
Defining the problem emotionally and intellectually
Applying the ASCA ethical code and the legal issues
Considering the student’s chronological and developmental levels
Considering the setting, parental rights and minor’s rights
Applying the moral principle
- Determining a potential course of action and its consequences
- Evaluating the selected action
- Consulting with peers
- Implementing the selected course of action
- While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines
