I’m finishing my 26th year in this work, and I still block 30 minutes every Friday for ethics study and a quick case review because the learning never stops. What current resources, whether courses, supervision setups, or case libraries, are you finding most useful for keeping our standards high? If you have a practical template or tool you use (I lean on a 3-question debrief and occasional peer supervision on Zoom), I’d love to compare notes.
I keep a simple ethics decision log and review it monthly in a peer triad; each entry notes the dilemma, options, principle invoked, decision, and follow-up, anchored to the Global Code of Ethics (https://www.globalcodeofethics.org). Tiny caveat: it can feel admin-heavy unless you cap entries to 10 minutes — think of it like flossing for your practice. If you want the one-page template, I can share.
I run a quick ethical pre‑mortem before tricky sessions: write the worst‑case headline, set two guardrails, and script the boundary language I’ll use if things drift; it pairs well with @penelope9688’s power/consent check, plus one test — ‘would I email this decision to the client and my supervisor tomorrow?’. It’s slower the first couple tries but settles under 10 minutes. Want the one‑page template?
On Fridays I do a 60‑second “publish test”: write the decision in one sentence and ask, “Would I be comfortable explaining this to the client and a supervisor tomorrow?” If the answer’s muddy, I pause the action and book a consult, and I’ll rewatch one short module from https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu on conflicts or framing to check my blind spots. Quick, but I still run a quarterly supervisor audit to catch the systemic stuff.
