Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the behavioral health professions. AI is being used to conduct client risk assessments; provide resources to clients; assist people in crisis; strengthen prevention efforts; document clinical services; interact with clients using social robots; identify systemic biases in the delivery of behavioral health services; provide professional education and supervision; and predict practitioner burnout and service outcomes, among other uses. Ethical standards related to AI are evolving.
This webinar will examine cutting-edge ethical issues related to social workers’ use of AI, apply relevant ethical standards, and outline key elements of a strategy for practitioners’ ethical use of AI. Join Dr. Frederic Reamer as he examines ethical issues and risks related to informed consent and client autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; transparency; potential client misdiagnosis; client abandonment; client surveillance; plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud, deception, and misrepresentation; algorithmic bias and unfairness; and use of evidence-based AI tools.
Objectives:
- Identify the ways in which artificial intelligence is being used in social work.
- Identify ethical issues and challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence in social work.
- Apply relevant ethics standards and develop ethics-informed policies and protocols to protect clients and practitioners.

Presenter: Lawrence Fishel, PhD, LCSW-C
CEs: 1.5 Social Work contact hours.
Social Workers in the course of their practices are occasionally asked to appear in Court and can receive subpoenas for a myriad of reasons. These reasons can include criminal matters, civil matters, custody or divorce recommendations, employment and potential licensure issues for the individuals Social Workers work with. Additionally, records or reports are often requested by attorneys or entities about their clients. Many Social Workers are reluctant or sometimes fearful to be involved in this process. However, many times testifying or providing appropriate documentation can be vital to the clients improvement. Unfortunately, there are times that mistakes are made in this area by well intentioned and ethical Social Workers because they are not aware of the proper rules or laws that pertain to those situations. This Webinar will hope to significantly reduce the chances of those mistakes happening.
Objectives:
- How to testify in Court, Licensure or Employment Hearings, and Depositions as an Expert Witness. The Social Worker will learn how to prepare for testimony so they can convey the message they want the proceedings to receive. The Social Worker will learn how to handle Direct and Cross Examination, or when appropriate, make a statement to the Court. This webinar will help the Social Worker to do their part in protecting the community while testifying on behalf of their client.
- The Social Workers reputation in the community is important when testifying. Therefore, the webinar will teach the Social Worker how to work with Attorneys, Judiciary, and other members of the Court. It will also teach the Social Worker how to work with licensing boards or employers such as (but not limited to) the FAA when public safety could be impacted by the employee the Social Worker is treating.
- The webinar will instruct Social Workers how to handle subpoenas, Court Orders and different situations pertaining to requests for records. This will include how to select the appropriate attorney for assistance if one is necessary. The webinar will share how to write Court Reports and updates when requested.

Presenter: Viola Vaughan-Eden, PhD, MJ, LCSW
CEs: 1.5 Social work contact hours
This webinar addresses the myths and harms associated with corporal punishment, and the social norms that perpetuate them. Physical discipline is the most prevalent risk factor for child abuse in the United States.

They often dread conversations regarding spanking, but parents are often relieved to know they have alternatives. Social workers educating parents and other adults about safe and effective ways of parenting is essential for the health and well-being of all children. No Hit Zones as an alternative will be discussed.
- Social workers will be able to distinguish the myths from the facts about spanking.
- Social workers will be able to describe the latest research regarding the harms of corporal punishment.
- Social workers will review trauma-informed resources for safe and effective parenting.
