This workshop assumes all helping professionals experience episodic functional impairments that impact job performance, whether that be due to physical health or medication issues; losses, bereavement, addictive behaviors or diagnosable mental disorders.  

As professionals, we must be cognizant enough to recognize and self-monitor developing impairments so these remain manageable in the workplace.  

This workshop explores where the ethical line of “too impaired to practice” needs to be, reviewing related legal mandates and professional ethical standards.  

Participants will be introduced to a functional self-assessment tool and coached in how to create and use a “peer monitoring system.”  David will also discuss how agencies can strengthen work policies to create positive work environments that provide maximum support to struggling employees.
