Description of Ethics Learning Type CE Event: Did you know ethics can be sexy? Okay, maybe not as sexy as some other things, but ethics are incredibly important in behavior-analytic work. This presentation covers the new BACB (2020) Code of Ethics, as it pertains to sexual behaviors of both legal and illegal varieties, consent/assent, gender and sexual minorities, and a BCBA’s own mental health and self-care. If you work with humans, even if you don’t intend to specialize in sexuality, this presentation is a MUST! It’s also being hailed as: “Life-changing,” “Inspiring,” and “The refresher I needed to continue my work in this field after facing burnout.” **This course is the prerequisite course to “Recorded: Building and Delivering a Treatment Plan for Sexual Behavior” you must complete this course (Recorded: Ethics in Addressing Sexual Behavior) first.**
