MFCC567 Week 1: Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling in the Community

A Note from Stacey:

If I was working on this assignment, I would use these two websites:

• https://www.bbs.ca.gov/
• http://www.camft.org/Portals/0/PDFs/AssocDocs/CodeOfEthics.pdf

Hint: Remember that the issue you choose must be an issue related to working with couples or family. Think custody, child abuse, domestic violence, adolescent drug use, “no more secrets” policies with couples, a teen wants to come to therapy but doesn’t want their parents to know, etc.

MFCC567 Week 1: Review the legal statutes for professional counseling practice in your state.

Research ethical and legal issues of public interest in marriage, family, and child counseling.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper on a specific ethical and legal issue in your community. Include the following:

• Summarize the issue.
• Describe which ethical code it relates to and explain why.
• Explain which state legal statutes are applicable and why they are applicable.
• Describe a strategy for handling the issue as an LMFT (or professional counselor with the appropriate state license allowing you to engage in marital, couple, and family counseling).

Include a minimum of 2 references.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

This assignment contains a Microsoft Word document.
