Ethics in Prevention: A Guide for Substance Misuse Prevention Practitioners

This two-week, asynchronous, online moderated course explores the six principles of the Substance Misuse Prevention Code of Ethics, brought to life with realistic examples designed to enhance participant understanding. The course also introduces a decision-making process to help practitioners apply this code to a variety of ethical dilemmas, and an online discussion area to facilitate discussion with other course participants.

This is a self-paced, moderated course meaning there are no real time events. You will be asked to complete content modules on HealtheKnowledge and participate in learning forums that will be moderated by a trainer.

This course will take approximately six hours to complete over the course of two weeks. Modules will be released on December 7, 9, 11, 16 and 18. On completing all assignments and passing the assessment at the end of the course (80% correct), participants will receive a certificate of completion for six hours.
