Finding Your True North: Exploring Your Ethical Practice

Featuring: Lisa Race, LCSW and Susie Snyder, LCSW

When:  8:30am-4:30pm      

Purpose

The goal of this workshop is to support participants to clarify and tune-in to their ethical compass so as to be their most impactful, authentic and caring selves with clients.  We are interested in helping practitioners connect to ethical principles and guidelines that will support them to work in ways that are sustainable, meaningful, and even inspiring.  The day is organized around identifying helpful and ethical principles that can guide our work in each of the 6 areas identified in the SW code of ethics relating to our responsibilities to the profession, to clients, to colleagues, to the agencies we serve, to self-care, and to the broader society (and social justice).
