Doing Our Work Ethically

The Housing First Training Group was formed in 2017 under the CABHI (Cooperative Agreement to Benefit Homeless Individuals) Grant - a project of SAMSHA and BHDDH. CABHI brought together four homeless service providers – Amos House, Crossroads, House of Hope and Better Lives (formerly PICA) in partnership with four behavioral health providers – Community Care Alliance, Newport Mental Health, The Providence Center and Thrive Behavioral Health to better coordinate, cooperate and serve those homeless individuals with substance use and/or mental health disorders.Thanks to the CABHI funding, over 125 trainings were held in a two year span. When the CABHI grant (and funding) ended, the CABHI partners wanted to ensure that these important best practice trainings continued. The training group continued to meet, work and host trainings. In 2020, the group was renamed the Behavioral Health & Homelessness Prevention Training Group (BHHP) and has recently received BHDDH funds to continue to host trainings.

Due to the funding source for this training, this training  is only open to individuals working in Rhode Island.

Ethics is the basis of the work our organizations do. With all social service work, ethical decision making issues arise from time to time. Practitioners must deal with everything from informed consent to dealing with true ethical dilemmas. This training will help identify ethical issues and the process to make the best ethical decisions in your work. A certificate of completion will be provided to all participants that complete the session. The certificate can be used to apply for CEUs for various disciples such as social work, peer certification and more.Trainer: Jim RyczekJim Ryczek joined the Rhode Island Collaborative for Interprofessional Education and Practice as its first Director in March 2020.
