Frequently, ethical challenges in the helping professions don’t involve knowing the right thing to do. Rather, the dilemma is in having the courage to act ethically under adverse circumstances – a corrupt organizational climate or amid a risk to one’s livelihood. Yet without the courage to stand for those standards we value, what meaning do the standards have? This session explores the current thinking about moral courage, examines situations where it is called for, and offers exemplars and strategies for gaining and demonstrating moral courage.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving. We welcome your suggestions for future workshop topics or presenters that you would like to see us feature in future continuing education workshops, and thank you for your continued support of the program.
