Beneficence
Choosing to act in ways that genuinely help others.
Details
Beneficence means trying to support another person’s well-being, reduce harm, and do good with care. In counseling, healthcare, and daily life, it is not just about having good intentions, but about helping in ways that are truly useful and safe.
💡 Real-Life Example
A therapist offers steady support to a client in crisis while making sure the help is thoughtful, respectful, and not overwhelming.
