Previously Recorded
Anjalon Wimbush, LMSW-CM
$59.99

This training session is designed to equip school social workers with the knowledge, skills, and strategies necessary to navigate ethical dilemmas that arise in their professional practice. School social workers often face complex situations where ethical principles and practical realities intersect, requiring careful consideration and sound judgment.

 

Through interactive discussion, case studies, and real-world examples, participants will explore the NASW Code of Ethics, ethical decision-making frameworks, and strategies for maintaining professional boundaries within the school setting. The session will also address issues such as confidentiality, dual relationships, mandated reporting, and advocacy in school systems.

 

By the end of this training, participants will feel more confident in identifying ethical challenges, applying ethical reasoning, and upholding professional integrity while supporting students, families, and school communities.
