As you move into working with individuals as a case manager, you will be making

decisions on a daily basis that can change lives positively or negatively.  It's essential
you understand what your motivation is, and the importance of making ethical decisions
in your role. 
So far, we've talked about identifying your values and principles, the values and
principles that go into ethical decision making for counselors.  We've reviewed the role
of ethical decision making in case management and you've read about various models
to help with ethical decision making.   
For this paper, I'd like you to pick one of the ethical decision making models from the
previous page that you feel would best work for you to go through an ethical question. 
I'd like you discuss why you chose that model and how you feel it can help you in ethical
decision making in your profession.  Feel free to use examples (real or hypothetical).  
Models: 1. Traditional models 2. Contemporary models 3. Collaboration.
Your paper should be at least 5 pages long and should be in APA format.  (Title
page and reference section doesn’t count toward the page total, and no need for an
abstract).
PLEASE reference the rubric for grading scale.
