The chapter focuses on six final checks: the Golden Rule, fiduciary responsibility, justice and fairness, publicity, universality, and mitigation of harm. It recommends that mental health professionals be prepared to justify the decision by managing criticism. Criticism can be assuaged by emphasizing protection of the client, a focus on the present, and the positive outcomes achieved. It recommends that clinicians document their ethical decision-making process and use established parameters to justify their decision.","PeriodicalId":380701,"journal":{"name":"Ethical Decision-Making in School Mental Health","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133581699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter recommends three types of consultation, including ethical consultation, clinical consultation, and legal consultation. Ethical consultation occurs best when it is regularly scheduled, part of an ongoing relationship, and nurtures the professional’s own ethical growth. Clinical consultation can be used for ongoing supervision, understanding the connection between emotional and academic problems, staying current with clinical theory and interventions, recognizing the need for self-care, and managing clinical concerns. Legal consultation can assist with understanding constitutional rights of due process and equal protection, federal statutes such as the Every Student Succeeds Act or Individuals with Disabilities Act, state statutes, administrative regulations, and case law, such as the Tarasoff duty to protect and Jaffee v. Redmond. It ends with a discussion of the relationship between law and ethics and provides guidance regarding civil disobedience.","PeriodicalId":380701,"journal":{"name":"Ethical Decision-Making in School Mental Health","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122525155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we focused on sharing a process of making ethically sound and justifiable decisions, rather than addressing specific issues that require ethical judgments. The process involves taking proactive steps to be as well prepared as possible to manage ethical predicaments. School mental health professionals should analyze the situation fully, followed by seeking consultation from authoritative and objective sources, before identifying a full range of possible courses of action. Those courses of action and their anticipated outcomes for both the student and stakeholders are carefully considered. The selected course of action is “tested” before implementation to help ensure the best possible outcomes for the student and stakeholders and avoid unanticipated, adverse outcomes. The pupil services professional documents the steps taken to make the decision and is prepared to justify the decision, should any criticism arise. Finally, the implemented course of action is monitored and reflected upon to protect the student and improve future professional practice....","PeriodicalId":380701,"journal":{"name":"Ethical Decision-Making in School Mental Health","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115548798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
