Ethical practice in multi-client settings
Social work practice with couples, families, and groups raises a number of ethical concerns including confidentiality; confronting problematic behavior; enforcing or denying members’ participation; imposing the practitioner’s values on participants; practicing beyond one’s competence; navigating the complications of social media and the online environment; asking for and receiving feedback; and termination. Thinking back on your own experiences, spend a few minutes doing reflective writing on the following questions:
- What are my views on family, gender, power, and privilege? How do they influence my own behaviors in group settings?
- In what ways does my own family and/or cultural background contribute to these views?
- How familiar, comfortable, and adaptable do I feel engaging with family, relational, and group dynamics?
In your discussion post, write a general reflection on what your answers revealed. Then, describe how you would prepare yourself to ensure a safe, fair, and equitable counseling environment for all participants in the group.

Writing response – what is resilience? 250 words
Before we encounter sources engaged in the discourse of resilience, it would be a good idea to reflect on what resilience means to you.
Without consulting outside sources, define resilience in your own words. What words and traits do you associate with the term? How do we know resilience when we see it? Who or what can be resilient? In which contexts do we use the term? You can also pose questions about resilience here. The idea is for us to start a conversation about the term and take stock of what we know and how we feel about resilience before we engage with outside sources
