The 2021 update to the NASW Code of Ethics addresses the importance of professional self-care. We ask social workers to share with their fellow professionals: how do you promote wellness? What does promoting wellness look like, not only within the communities we serve, but within ourselves as well?
Within these past few turbulent years – socially, politically, mentally, and medically – let’s look to celebrate the work social workers accomplish, especially in times where we’re expected to thrive. How do social workers succeed when facing seemingly insurmountable challenges while also mitigating their own turmoil? What does success in these spaces look like? What tools and resources do social workers have to achieve these successes?
With this year’s NASW-NYC’s annual continuing education conference, which includes keynote presentations, continuing education workshops, networking opportunities, and sponsorship exhibits; we ask social workers to consider the above and share their successes and opportunities in transcending chaos while keeping their wellness, as well as those they serve, first.
- NASW-NYC invites presenters of all education levels to propose a workshop for the conference.
- NASW-NYC will strongly consider presentations that has a focus on substance use and misuse, and other behavioral addictions (CASACs).
