Social Work Ethics, Boundaries, and Professional Use of Self
The focus of this ethics and boundaries workshop is on the social worker’s “professional use of self” in relationship to conducting activities within an organization/agency, among colleagues, and in the community. Challenges of daily practice are explored that promote meaningful relationships with employers/supervisors, colleagues, and clients. Information is provided that impacts the way in which we conduct ourselves and our activities in the helping process. The premise of this workshop is that ethical practice and the maintenance of effective boundaries permeates all areas of social work activity that not only includes our work with clients, but how we relate to our organization/agency and colleagues. Instructional format includes interactive lecture, focused discussion, group work, video, and practice exercises designed to foster application of workshop content to various social work practice situations.
Anticipated workshop outcomes include the further development and refinement of ones’ knowledge, value, and skill base from ethical and boundary setting perspectives. Information will be presented that may enhance your practice and benefit your client population as well as the organization and profession you represent. Practitioner self-assessment may lead to recognition of areas needing further professional development.
Instructional format includes: interactive lecture, focused discussion, group work, illustrative video, and practice exercises. Each of these is designed to foster application of workshop content to social work practice.
