Social Worker Self-Care an Ethical Obligation

This workshop will define Self Care, Trauma Stewardship, and explore our ethical obligation to practice self-care. Self-care is not only critical to our professional self but a requirement of our NASW Code of ethics. How do we care for others when caring for ourselves and the stressors of the world we live in is overwhelming? We will explore concrete strategies for self-care, work in small groups and create individualized self-care plans for use now and in the future.
