VCU RRTC

In Part 1 of this webcast series, Phillip Rumrill, Ph.D., CRC, and Christopher Claude, Ph.D., discuss ethical challenges in vocational rehabilitation, focusing on power dynamics in the counseling relationship and the importance of consumer choice. They explore common situations VR counselors face when balancing professional judgment with a consumer’s right to make their own decisions. Participants will learn to recognize ethical concerns, apply principles of informed choice and autonomy, and consider how new practices may affect consumers’ ability to direct their own services and career goals.
