Exploring Our Six Ethical Principles (Panel Discussion)

Explore the six Ethical Principles of the NASW Code of Ethics (Service, Social Justice, Dignity and Worth of the Person, Importance of Human Relations, Integrity, and Competence) with the three officers of the NASW, Missouri Chapter. The unique format of this two-hour ethics workshop is a virtual sofa discussion where our three social work leaders share their perspectives and real-life experiences. Attendees will have opportunities to participate in the workshop that will be recorded for future use on the NASW CE Institute.

This workshop is a sequel to the exceptional pre-conference workshop presented in March 2021. It was highly rated by participants with 81.6% strongly agreeing that “the presenter(s) were knowledgeable about the topic” and the other 18.4% agreeing. Here is a sample of the evaluation comments from the attendees:
