Code of Ethical Conduct: Sharing __________ _______________________ ______________

• A. Clinical notes
• B. Personal recovery story
• C. Employment history
• D. Emotional triggers

Answer: (B)

Sharing a personal recovery story is used as a recovery-support tool in a deliberate, client-centered way. When a CPRS talks about their own journey, it can offer hope, reduce stigma, and show that recovery is possible, which can motivate and empower the person you're supporting. This kind of disclosure should be purposeful and brief, always tied to the client’s goals, and kept within clear boundaries—only what is helpful to the client, and never revealing sensitive or identifying information about others. It also requires respecting confidentiality and agency policies, and avoiding details that could retraumatize or shift focus away from the client. In contrast, sharing clinical notes would breach confidentiality, employment history is not relevant to the recovery process, and discussing emotional triggers could unnecessarily provoke or harm the person.
