GOOD DAY, I AM KRISTINE M. MOSQUERA I’M FROM HUMSS 12 B.

AND I AM HERE
TO DISCUSS THE 3 ETHICAL DIMENSIONS IN COUNSELING AND THE AREAS OF
SPECIALIZATION. SO LET’S GET STARTED.

SO IM GONNA START US OFF WITH THE 3 ETICAL DIMENSION IN COUNSELING


WHICH ARE THE INFORMED CONSENT, CONFIDENTIALITY, AND PROTECTION
AND DEVELOPMENT.

1. THE FIRST ONE IS THE INFORMED CONSENT, This means that the counselor has
informed the client of what to expect in the counseling process and that the client has
given his or her consent to participate in the process.
2. THE SECOND ONE, CONFIDENTIALITY. This means that the counselor should not
disclose the confidential information entrusted to him or her by his or her client.
However, it should be made clear that there are limits to absolute confidentiality and
these need to be clarified with the client before counseling. For instance, the counselor
must inform a relevant third party if the client poses a significant risk to his or her own
life. If the client’s counseling is being paid for by a private insurance company, it is likely
that the counselor will have to provide periodic reports to this company.
3. AND LASTLY, THE THIRD ONE, THE AND PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT.
This means that The counselor is expected to protect the welfare of his/her client as well
as his or her own. It is a professional requirement for counselors to have their work
supervised. Supervision of counseling work enables the counselor to offer his or her
client a more effective and safer service. In addition, continuing professional
development of counselor is encouraged for their accreditation to be renewed.

FOSTER CARE

Many of us have heard about the foster care system. Much of what we have heard
focuses on the negative aspects of foster care and foster parents. Some of what we
have heard is incorrect.

What the foster care system is: a temporary arrangement in which adults provide
for the care of a child or children whose birthparent is unable to care for them.
Foster care is not where juvenile delinquents go. It is where children go when their
parents cannot, for a variety of reasons, care for them.

Foster care can be informal or arranged through the courts or a social service
agency. The goal for a child in the foster care system is usually reunification with
the birthfamily, but may be changed to adoption when this is seen as in the child's
best interest. While foster care is temporary, adoption is permanent.

Adoption from the foster care system can happen in two ways. Foster adoption or
fost-adopt, is a form of adoption in which a child is placed into a home as a foster
child, with the expectation that the child will become legally free and be adopted by
the foster, parents. Some children are not adopted by their foster parents. Their
birthparents rights have been terminated, and they are legally free for adoption.
