Event date: 6/23/2022 Export event Mark Wills / Friday, June 10, 2022 / Categories: Uncategorized Reproductive Justice: What Social Workers Need to Know NASW New York State 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET As assaults on reproductive health continue across the country and the United States stands on the precipice of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the time is now for social workers to learn about the tenets of Reproductive Justice (RJ). A framework developed by minoritized groups in the 1990s, RJ moves the abortion discourse beyond “choice” and considers the elements that contribute to or hinder true bodily autonomy: the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right raise a child in safe and healthy environments. As RJ especially considers the impact of legislation, policy, and intervention on vulnerable communities, it is especially relevant during today’s socio-political climate. This course will introduce, define, and explore the tenets of Reproductive Justice and how they directly apply to social work advocacy and practice. Concrete suggestions for advocacy and intervention will also be provided. Learning Objectives: After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: understand how Reproductive Justice applies directly to social work practice; identify and define the tenets of Reproductive Justice apply the tenets of Reproductive Justice to appreciate the impact of the overturning ofRoe v. Wade on historically minoritized communities; and identify concrete ways of advocating for Reproductive Justice. 2.5 CEUs available Register for Reproductive Justice (attendance only, no CE credits) Register for Reproductive Justice (earn CE credits) Previous Article Clinical Job Hunting: Where to Begin Next Article Clinical Supervision Training Print 1142 Tags: virtual continuing education webinar chapter new york state Related articles Borderless Care: Navigating Transnational Caregiving in a Globalized World Cultural Humility: A Practice of Curiosity and Accountability for Social Workers Social Workers’ Role in Addressing Harmful Substance Use Emotional Intelligence in Social Work: Strengthening Professional Practice New Trends in Substance Abuse Focusing on Alcohol and Cannabis
