On June 1, 2021, substantive changes went into effect in NASW’s Code of Ethics regarding the imperative of self-care. As licensed social workers and mental health professionals, we have an ethical responsibility to engage in effective self-care, both professionally and personally.

This workshop, led by Amy Maus, MSW, LCSW of West County Psychological Associates, will review these changes in the Code of Ethics and explore various strategies of self-care that social workers and other helping professionals can utilize for themselves as well as employ with those we serve.  Using the Wheel of Self-Care, we will discuss effective strategies for physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and professional self-care.  Participants will be invited to share helpful resources and effective self-care strategies that they use personally and in their own practice settings.

CEU or pd hours are available. Registration for this session will close Friday, November 13 at 12:00pm.
