This program explores the ethical principles that are important to consider when working with trauma survivors. It presents a foundation for understanding the physiological psycho-emotional and energetic dynamics of trauma from the perspective of neuro-biology and Five-Element Chinese medicine. This foundation serves as a departure point for exploring the critical choices a practitioner must make in order to provide ethical treatment for trauma survivors.

With this awareness, practitioners can make situationally appropriate choices with respect to:

- patient consent;
- respecting rights and dignity;
- clinical transparency;
- cultural competency;
- non-discrimination;
- patient privacy;
- appropriate boundaries;
- scope of practice and other areas.
