Module 2 covers confidentiality, responding to threats of violence in a state without a duty-to-warn statute, child and vulnerable adult abuse reporting, and counseling minors. Module 3 covers applying the ACA Code with an ethical decision-making model, boundaries in rural and oil country practice, telehealth, and the Counseling Compact. Each module includes a practical routine, a tool training, a skills practice, and North Dakota case studies.
