Often times, these individuals are almost invisible to responders struggling to respond to mass events. Too often, the rehabilitation communities have not engaged with core responder agencies including the Red Cross. They may erroneously believe they are not able to participate without state counselor licensure in their home states. However, there are many roles beyond working as a disaster mental health counselor that are arguably even more critical. Content in this webinar will include: •Understanding the operation of an emergency management system within rehabilitation and other community service agencies and the community; •Identify the array of roles that rehabilitation counselors and agencies should play in disaster response; •Understand the ethical limitations and competencies involved in providing appropriate crisis intervention, as well as brief, intermediate, and long-term approaches to care; •Understand ethical issues involved in counseling and providing services within a disaster, emergency, and crisis context; •Demonstrate knowledge of specific issues and techniques relevant to meeting the needs of persons with disability in disaster, emergency, and crisis situations; •Understand special ethical responsibilities, methods, and limitations for advocacy on behalf of individuals and communities of persons with various types of disabilities; and, •Understand the ethical risks of secondary traumatization, its potential for counselor impairment, and the role of a personal self-care plan for the caregiver.

LIVE WEBINAR #2 Navigating Cultural Change Through Ethically Competent Practice: Personal Values and Professional Obligations in the Rehabilitation Counseling Relationship March 24, 2015 2:00 pm ET; 1:00 pm CT; 12:00 pm MT; 11:00 pm PT This webinar will explore the ethical conflicts that can arise when counselors are faced with the intersectionality between disability and client characteristics that present moral, relational, legal, and advocacy challenges to the rehabilitation counseling relationship. A variety of case illustrations will provide specific opportunities for attendees to explore ethical issues related to value imposition. It will also review the recent legal cases that are changing ethical-legal practice standards in the counseling profession, as well as guidance in the standards in the CRCC Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors to address these areas. Content in this webinar will include: •Counselor personal moral values in the context of professional practice and values: Risk of personal values imposition; •Impact of values conflicts on the rehabilitation counseling relationship and ethical practice; •Overview of legal decisions concerning counseling practice and LGBTQ issues; •Evolution of ethical best practice standards that address managing the risks of imposition of counselor values; •Boundaries of competence in working with LGBTQ and other types of clients; and, •Use of counseling skills such as bracketing and proper referral procedures.

LIVE WEBINAR #3 Ethical-Legal Issues in the Workplace: The Impact of Employer Wellness Policies on Employees with Disabilities April 9, 2015 2:00 pm ET; 1:00 pm CT; 12:00 pm MT; 11:00 am PT Rehabilitation counselors are required to understand and advocate for the rights of their clients in the workplace. They also must work with employers to develop jobs and consult with them regarding a range of disability management issues. Counselors must use their ethical decision-making skills to assist clients in navigating the healthcare system, and to work with employers to ensure that wellness programs do not directly or indirectly discriminate against employees with disabilities. This webinar will use case scenarios to explore ethical-legal issues surrounding workplace wellness programs and changes to healthcare policy as they apply to rehabilitation counseling practice. Content in this webinar will include: •An overview of healthcare policy and recent legislation as it applies to wellness in the workplace; •A discussion of wellness as it applies to employees with disabilities including supported choice, confidentiality, and consent; •The application of the provisions of wellness programs to rehabilitation counseling practice scenarios including hiring, job description and return to work considerations; confidentiality and consent; disclosure, accessibility, and accommodations considerations under the ADA; and, financial and employment outcome considerations under Workers Compensation; and, •Resources to facilitate client empowerment and self-advocacy.
