Ethics Forum - Dual Relationships in Rural Areas

NASW New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine Chapters

Thursday, October 24 · 12pm - 1pm EDT
Facilitated by Jacob D. Stone, LSW, ACSW, (Ret.)

1 Formal CE in Ethics approved by NASW VT

NASW Vermont Chapter is recognized by the New York State Education Department's State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW-0683. This workshop meets the criteria for New York's professional boundaries CE requirements.

When you are a social worker in a small town, in a small state, dual relationships are bound to come up. How do you best manage these? When do you avoid them? How do you provide necessary care?

Ethics are rather easy when there is only one standard to consider. Ethical dilemmas, when more than one standard is in conflict with another, is where supervision &/or peer consulation comes in.

During this hour, Jacob Stone will give a mini-presentation on dual relationships then participants will be given ethical dilemma case scenarios to process in small groups. The groups will then come back to the main zoom room to report their decision making processes.

This workshop is free to all NASW Members & $25 for not-yet-members.
