Presentation of Regional School
Social Worker of the Year Award
Ethical Dilemmas: Exploration &
Consultation Utilizing A Case-Based
Discussion Model (2 CE)
Elizabeth (Betsy) H. Voshel, LMSW, ACSW, Associate Clinical Professor & Director Of Field Instruction will be our presenter. Because social workers rarely have time to explore or thoughtfully reflect on ethical dilemmas they experience, the purpose of this workshop will be to help practitioners understand what it means to practice ethically. The goal is to create a climate whereby collegial consultations become the norm as they relate to difficult or ethically challenging situations. This presentation will focus on identifying potential vulnerable areas of practice, exploring practice implications, developing risk management strategies, differentiating professional/practice related responsibility from ethical decision making, and identifying areas for further exploration utilizing a conceptual framework in case-based small group discussions.
(12:00-1:00) Optional Networking Lunch
Following our professional development, join us for lunch where you will have the opportunity to network with other Region A members!
Cost: $15 - member.
