SUMMARY:Interfaith Mental Health Leadership Seminar

Graham\, PhD\, LMHC\, LMFT – an Associate Professor of Counselor Education at Asbury Theological Seminary and a licensed clinician in both mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy. He has more than two decades of clinical and teaching experience at the intersection of counseling\, theology\, and cultural formation.

SUMMARY:Presenting CE Topic: Maintaining an Ethical Posture in a Politically Charged Climate
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, political identity has become increasingly intertwined with personal identity\, relationships\, and emotional wellbeing. As a result\, politically charged topics frequently emerge in counseling settings—whether related to elections\, public policy\, media narratives\, public health responses\, or social justice concerns. Clients may present with distress tied to political events\, conflict with family members who hold opposing views\, or feelings of fear\, anger\, or disillusionment related to sociopolitical development.\nThis workshop examines how counselors can maintain an ethical and therapeutic posture when politically charged issues arise in clinical practice. Participants will explore how political beliefs—both their own and those of their clients—may influence clinical judgment\, the therapeutic alliance\, and treatment planning. Drawing on professional ethical standards\, multicultural counseling principles\, and clinician self-awareness\, the session will consider how counselors can avoid value imposition while still engaging client concerns in meaningful and therapeutically productive ways. \nParticipants will be introduced to a structured framework for navigating politically charged discussions in counseling sessions while maintaining fidelity to ethical practice\, respect for client autonomy\, and the preservation of the therapeutic relationship. Case examples and guided reflection will assist clinicians in developing practical strategies for responding to political diversity in counseling contexts. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ways political beliefs and sociopolitical identities may influence client functioning\, counselor perceptions\, and the therapeutic relationship.\nDescribe relevant ethical principles and professional standards that guide counselor responses when politically charged issues arise in clinical practice.\nRecognize potential ethical risks\, including value imposition\, countertransference\, and boundary concerns\, when political differences emerge between counselors and clients.\nExplain ethical decision-making strategies that support therapeutic neutrality while honoring client autonomy.\nApply a structured clinical framework for engaging politically charged topics in counseling while maintaining ethical integrity and the therapeutic alliance.\n\nFeaturing Returning Presenter: \nAndrew J.
