Ethical Considerations and Strategies for Addressing the Issues of Confidentiality in Social Work Practice
Friday, October 28th, 2022
9:00 AM-4:30 PM ET
This workshop qualifies for 6 Category I Continuing Education Units in ETHICS
This workshop focuses on strategies for identifying and addressing common, yet complex ethical issues concerning confidentiality that social workers face in their practice.
To provide services, it is often necessary to share and obtain information from community partners serving individuals, and yet confidentiality practices are confusing and complicated.
Content will include: an overview of the Maryland Statute and Regulations which govern confidentiality of health records, mental health records, substance abuse records, social service records, education records, the requirements for release of information, child maltreatment or imminent harm information, privileged communication, and a clinician’s personal notes.
Presenter: Gisele Ferretto, MSW, LCSW-C
The presenter served on the National NASW committee to revise the NASW Confidentiality and Information Utilization Issue Statement and will include an overview of these national standards. In addition, risk management strategies will be identified.
This training is suitable for Social Workers, LCPCs, and Psychologists.

Co-Occurring Disorder Treatments
September 14th-December 14th, 2022
Each topic is offered twice on the assigned date: 9:00 - 10:30 AM ET and 3:00 - 4:30 PM ET
CEUS vary
Best practice treatment for co-occurring disorders is integrated. Ideally, treatment for both disorders is provided by the same clinician (or team), at the same time. Integrated treatment involves stage-wise treatment, which focuses on the person’s readiness to make any needed changes.
This training series is designed to help helping professionals gain the knowledge, philosophies, and skills needed to work with people who have both mental health and substance use disorders.
For more efficient registration, attendees are asked to register for the whole series.
If you cannot make every session, or just want to attend certain ones, that is fine. You will only receive CEU credit for the sessions you attend, and you can only receive CEU credit for one session each day. All sessions are online and delivered via zoom.
