Ethics in the Modern World
We live in a world of digital information that is easily transmitted and can be compromised. While treatment is key to improvement, some challenges faced on a daily basis include ensuring that clients receive the highest quality care, and observing required protections as defined by law. Learning to navigate the law, personal values, and desires to help clients is an intersection that every service provider has to understand in order to create informed opinions that will drive interactions with clients.
This workshop is about how the digital age, peer supports, and HIPAA intersect and create unique challenges to protecting privacy and providing quality care services. This workshop will have significant interactive portions and time for reflection on difficult cases that individuals have experienced/faced. 6

Workshop #3: Integrating Cultural Expression into the Social Experiences of PSR Consumers Helen Tafoya, MA, LPCC and Cynthia Gomez, MA.

There is also an opportunity for those who have not been exposed to learn more about their own culture and appreciate the support of renewing. Examples of cultural sharing by consumers include the Day of the Dead, Christmas, Hanukah and Independence Day.

Litoi, the man in the maze
The story of Litoi is also the story of every human being,
traveling life as through a maze, taking many turns while growing
stronger and wiser as life continues until the end at the dark center of the maze.
Tracing the light path with your finger you will find one more turn at the end, away from the center.
Here we can look back on the trail and find acceptance of the last step. [16]
