CE: 1 Social work contact hour
Rooted in trauma-responsive, justice-centered practice, this training examines how silence, clinical, organizational, cultural, and systemic, can reinforce harm and perpetuate inequity across all levels of social work practice. Participants will explore the intersection of ethics, power, trauma, policy, and systemic accountability through a framework that integrates micro, mezzo, and macro practice. Using applied case examples, this training challenges participants to critically examine what ethical action requires in real-world practice settings using an ethical responsiveness model.
Objectives:
- Analyze the role of silence in ethical social work practice.
- Evaluate the impact of systemic factors on clinical outcomes
- Implement ethical disruption strategies in practice settings
- Apply an ethical responsiveness model across all levels of social work practice.

CEs: 2 Social Work Contact Hours
The time is now to confront and support each other to move past our deep-rooted division and historical othering that the United States has lived in for centuries. As social workers we have the ethical duty to address inequality and support meaningful change. The trauma-informed care approach provides a framework to address the harm whiteness has inflicted on ourselves, our staff and our clients. Whiteness, as the unearned cultural, social, and structural privileges, will be explored in the context of supervision. Using a TIC approach for supervision increases the opportunity for supervisees to have supported vulnerable conversations about how whiteness shows up in social work, how it is addressed in supervision and the changes that are required. Addressing whiteness is activism as harmful political policies have a greater impact on non-white individuals, families and communities. Trauma-Informed Supervision allows for supervisors to address often ignored topics and better support white and non-white supervisees.
Objectives:
- Participants will learn how Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a framework for supervision.
- Participants will learn how the political landscape, workplace environments and cultural expressions impact supervisees and how these can be supported and/or challenged with a TIC supervision approach.
- Participants will explore the impacts of whiteness in America and how this impacts our peers and clients. TIC can support an evolution away from ignoring whiteness and empowering authentic connections.

CEs: 1.5 Social Work
Forensic social work has deep roots in early 20th‑Century reform and now plays a vital role in courtroom and legal settings. This webinar introduces how social workers support individuals, families, and communities across legal and child-welfare systems, drawing on trauma‑informed assessment, life‑history investigation, and contextual storytelling grounded in a Just Practice Framework. Participants will evaluate the ethical framework of NASW’s 2025 death penalty policy in relation to social work’s core values of dignity and worth of the individual. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how social workers contribute to holistic defense and align with community‑based justice movements that advance dignity and human rights.
Objectives:
- Describe the evolution of forensic social work from early 20th‑Century reform movements to modern roles in legal and child welfare settings.
- Explain core social work functions in legal contexts drawing on social work’s core values and key practices such as trauma‑informed assessment, life‑history investigation, and contextual storytelling that support holistic defense and humanize clients in court‑involved systems.
- Evaluate the ethical implications of social work roles in legal settings including high-stakes legal environments by examining NASW’s 2025 position on the death penalty in relation to social work’s core values and ethical principles.
