Ethics
The branch of philosophy that makes you pause and think, “Maybe I shouldn’t do that… or maybe I should, but carefully.
Ethics
Briana expects me to provide my personal phone number to clients to ensure client have a solid connection always, especially for those annoying late night SI spirals.
False. We have ERT staff for this. Also, please don't give out your number. Telehealth folks --- y'all know *67, yea?
This can be broken… but only in very specific circumstances, not just because your client was talking mad trash about your bestie.
Confidentiality
Of the 10,000 questions you get asked when calling in a CPS/APS report, what's the one thing you don't need to have? Or even try to get?
Proof
Telling your client you also cried at the end of The Last of Us II? Team Abby all the way!
Self disclosure
The title you never wanted, but the law insisted you take. The role that turns “I’ll mind my own business” into a crime.
Mandated Reporter
Accepting gifts from clients is fine… as long as it’s not a solid gold throne or a fleet of Ferraris.
True, in certain circumstances
When you hire your client to babysit your furry demon child while you’re out of town, congratulations — you’ve just officially signed up for this ethical minefield.
Dual Relationship
An MDPOA charging their ward for their HelloFresh subscription, because ya know, how could they possibly cook with all of these doctor appointments?
Exploitation
Recognizing you need to take a day with your phone off and eating Reese's cupcakes in bed because you have found everyone you've encountered recently to be really annoying.
Personal boundaries
That awkward moment when you realize “keeping secrets” doesn’t apply to homicidal threats.
Duty to Warn
False
Breaking confidentiality is usually a no-no… except when the law literally says, “Do it or else.”
Duty to Warn and Mandated Reporting
A DIL threatens MIL with dropping her beloved and fluffy demon child at the shelter unless MIL changes her will to DIL getting the house.
Extortion
It's been 5 long years. Who can you now officially invite to come along with you to Anderson Farms?
A former client
The “pick your poison” level of morality. That moment you realize every choice will make someone uncomfortable.
Ethical Dilemma
When I figure out how Briana is extorting money from this place, I'm calling the cops.
True, we should all hold each other accountable
When your personal agenda sneaks into therapy and tries to run the show, you’ve hit this classic ethical snag.
Conflict of interest
Grandson refusing to hire a HHA or a live-in aide because like, why waste grandpa's money like that?
Caregiver neglect
Bri now has the stressy.depressies. She got into a heated argument with Tyson, which she word vomitted all over last client -- accidentally, of course. Then she had a road rage incident. Her client isn't doing so hot either. What may she be demonstrating at work?
Poor boundaries
The invisible rulebook that says “don’t date your clients” and “maybe don’t text them memes at midnight.”
Professional ethics
Obviously, the client’s life is a “do as I say” adventure. I didn't incur this much student loan debt for nothing.
False
Recognizing that your summer abroad in Spain does not mean you "totally get where migrant workers are coming from".
Cultural competency. (Really hope the geography part of this joke is not lost.)
A client that hasn't showered and has been showing up in the sane clothes for weeks, insisting they're a 'never nude' and are simply embracing formal wear.
Self neglect/Grave disability
Not oversharing with clients, not letting Bri borrow your car, not dating your boss, confidently saying No! to hugs, leaving work on time (most of the time) and stepping out of your work brain on off hours
Emotional, Physical, Sexual, Workplace, Material, and Time Boundaries
