Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ACA Code of Ethics helps to stabilize the profession by providing a clear set of ethical standards for counselors to follow. While it does not answer every possible question a counselor may have, it does set forth ethical responsibilities that may change over time as societal norms evolve. It is also not the only code of ethics for counselors, as different organizations may have their own ethical guidelines. The Code of Ethics is updated every five years.
