Family Life Educators often find their work to be very rewarding. However, they can also find themselves facing difficult ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. This webinar will provide techniques on how to manage ethical challenges by teaching reflective group processes and reviewing three different perspectives to understand and approach ethical dilemmas. Specifically, the presenters will provide a multi-perspective approach to ethical thinking and a careful process for reflecting upon ethical principles, relational contexts, and personal virtues to address challenging situations.

Ethical practices in Family Life Education (FLE) can be challenging when they occur in person and may need to be handled immediately, increasing the likelihood of compromising ethical principles set by both the practitioners and their professional organizations. This is especially true for those new to their professions either as recent graduates or due to mid-career changes. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss ethical issues in a thoughtful and caring manner by learning how to identify ethical dilemmas, integrate different theories of ethics, and apply a group process to addressing ethical dilemmas in FLE practice.

Overall, attendees will leave this webinar with the ability to:

  • Apply and integrate three perspectives to ethical thinking and decision-making;
  • Identify ethical dilemmas versus challenging practice situations;
  • Implement a seven-step process for analyzing an ethical dilemma to improve ethical practice.

The webinar presenters, Drs. Betty Cooke, and Glen Palm (both CFLEs) were part of the MN Council on Family Relations Ethics Committee that created the Ethical Principles for Parent and Family Life Educators. This is a great opportunity to learn from the originators of the case study process.

Approved for 1.5 CFLE contact hour of continuing education credit.
