Relational ethics in action. Join CSPP students & faculty for a 4-part webinar series on power, feedback, and repair in clinical training. Free PD hours.

Relational Integrity Series | Linktree

Ethical growth comes from how we show up in relationships. This series centers the everyday moments where power, identity, and accountability intersect in training. Through parallel vignettes (student–instructor ↔ therapist–client), we connect these moments to the AAMFT Code of Ethics. Together, we’re building a culture where feedback is safer, rupture is repairable, and integrity is lived as well as taught.

Why this Series Matters

No, you can attend just one, but we recommend attending at least 3 for continuity. Each webinar builds on the last, with distinct but connected topics.

Do I have to attend all four sessions?
