The objective of this course is to familiarize the learner with ethical aspects of mental health services. Information focuses predominately on services delivery and administrative aspects of confidentiality in mental healthcare. It is not intended to be a comprehensive guide or resource and information is subject to change and does not replace the legal advice of an attorney. The learner will become familiar with variations and developments in mental health law and prevailing philosophies and concerns as well as implications of ethical violations.
