Training Description
This training provides a comprehensive overview of California-specific laws and ethical standards relevant to working with youth. Participants will explore core legal mandates, common ethical dilemmas, and emerging issues such as telehealth, mandated reporting, and boundary management—all through the lens of working with foster and system-involved youth. Using case scenarios, interactive discussions, and exam-aligned practice questions, attendees will enhance their confidence in navigating high-risk legal and ethical situations. This training directly supports service/support providers in making sound decisions that protect youth, uphold legal standards, and strengthen alliances in child welfare settings.
Learning Objectives
Distinguish between ethical standards and legal obligations across at least 3 common situations involving system-involved youth.
