Because community counselors work within an increasingly broad array of practice settings, it is imperative for them to understand how to apply the ACA Code of Ethics (American Counseling Association, 2005) to specific practice settings. The author examines ethics applied to unique practice settings and proposes the Ethics into Action Map as a method to promote an increased understanding of the application of ethical standards to specific contexts. Case examples are provided to illustrate the use of the Ethics into Action Map.
