Social workers and other helping professionals constantly face ethical issues and dilemmas requiring ethical decision making. Ethical practice in rural communities requires enhanced awareness of the special ethical considerations inherent to practice in closely-knit, isolated, tightly interdependent, small rural community settings. This workshop will focus on how the rural environment influences both the occurrence and the response to ethics conflicts. The course focuses on ethical decision-making and the utilization of codes of ethics while addressing the unique ethical needs of client populations in rural communities.

Discovering what privilege is to a group of disadvantaged creates internal and external combustion that ignites a continual voice of social justice.  This training will dive into the role of socialization and hegemony in maintaining continuous conversations of equity and social justice.  We will ask and answer hard questions about race, and sexual orientation, and unpack the norms of a pervasive hegemonic system.

In this workshop, we address racism, classism, LGBTQIA+2, gender equity, age and disability, and faith. We unpack the intersectionality that impacts individuals and their communities.  While we acknowledge the difference, we identify multifaceted methods to reduce social tensions.

This webinar explores the phenomenon of transnational caregiving, highlighting how international migration and an aging population lead to complex caregiving dynamics across borders.
