Got Integrity: Ethical Leadership in Addiction Treatment
In an industry where we help people at perhaps their most vulnerable, integrity is a critical component of ethical leadership. Yet we are not often trained in how to show up with honor.
Clinicians sign a code of conduct, and programs ascribe to ethical standards, but leaders are left to determine their own way of showing up in the world.
This training outlines the SUD leader's responsibility to provide guidance for an individual, an organization, or an industry in a way that respects those that we serve.
By standardizing the concept of ethical leadership, perhaps we can elevate our efforts to direct those that depend on us, and in turn elevate the critical work that we all do.
As Brené Brown stated, "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort. You choose what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy. And you choose to practice your values rather than simply professing them."
After the training, attendees will be able to:
- Name three ways of leading with integrity.
- Name three areas that are impacted by ethical leadership in addiction treatment.
- Answer where ethical leadership begins.
