Course Description:
Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and boundary violations in the healthcare workplace violate core ethical principles shared across health professions (Bail, 2021). These issues can have serious consequences for clients, colleagues, and bystanders, including professional, cultural, social, systemic, and mental health impacts(Abdulla, et al., 2023).
This presentation provides clear definitions and examples of workplace sexual harassment, reviews relevant laws and professional ethical codes, and outlines workplace expectations, including the rights of healthcare workers, employer responsibilities, reporting options, and available remedies for victims. It also addresses sexual boundary violations (Steinberg et al., 2021) specific to mental health settings and their impact on patients, clients, and supervisees, along with contributing factors to these ethical breaches(Steinberg& Albert, 2021).
Case studies and legal context are used to help participants understand how to identify, respond to, and prevent sexual misconduct in professional practice.
