Date/Time
The most current revision to the NASW Code of Ethics (2021) states that “Professional self-care is paramount for competent and ethical social work practice. Professional demands, challenging workplace climates, and exposure to trauma warrant that social workers maintain personal and professional health, safety, and integrity.”
This workshop unpacks this principle by identifying the ethical issues related to self-care and invites participants to explore strategies and deepen their self-care practices to enhance best client outcomes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Identify & define the ethical issues which impact social work intervention and the social worker, including primary traumatic stress, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout.
Explore strategies for ethical practice including the balance of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue.
Identify the causes and signs of stress and obstacles for recovery.
Develop an individualized ethical plan including assessment, identification of supports, as well as an agency assessment to support overall well-being and effective client outcomes.
This workshop meets the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners’ requirements for Ethics CEs.
Target Audience: Social Workers, LCPCs, Psychologists, anyone interested in the subject matter.
Sponsored By: University of Maryland School of Social Work
