Social work exists at the intersection of individual suffering and structural harm. In such spaces, ethical clarity is rarely absolute. Rather than presenting ethics as a checklist or compliance framework, this training invites participants into a deeper, more dynamic understanding of ethical decision-making in social work.

This session will reinforce the importance of ethical codes not as endpoints, but as touchstones for reclaiming ethics as moral courage and relational leadership in promoting human dignity, justice, and collective well-being.

The primary codes of ethics anchored in this training are the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics (2021) and the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners (BSWE) Code of Ethics. These foundational frameworks will guide our exploration of ethical decision-making, emphasizing the social worker’s role as a leader in moral resilience, critical reflection, and socially responsible action.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the core mission of the social work profession and the foundational principles outlined in the NASW and BSWE Codes of Ethics. (Knowledge)

Describe how ethical dilemmas often arise in the context of individual suffering and structural harm, rather than in clear-cut scenarios. (Comprehension)

Recognize the role of the social worker as a moral agent and emerging leader in promoting justice, dignity, and collective well-being. (Comprehension)

Explain how ethical codes function as touchstones for critical reasoning and moral courage rather than as prescriptive rulebooks. (Application)

This experiential training invites social workers into a courageous encounter with the entangled crises of our time—climate chaos, systemic violence, racialized trauma, ecological collapse, and the unraveling of modern certainties. Through a participatory approach, social workers are guided to locate themselves—honestly, humbly, and sustainably—within the complex ecosystem of social change. Ultimately, the work invites deeper accountability and renewed commitment to justice in both practice and presence. Participants will leave with practices that sustain moral courage, nurture collective well-being, and spark transformative action against discrimination and injustice. This training satisfies Maryland’s requirement for three (3) Category I continuing education units in Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice, with a focus on race, culture, and equity.

Urban communities bear the weight of structural racism, historical harm, and ongoing systemic violence—realities often misnamed as individual trauma.

This workshop invites healthcare professionals into a deeper understanding of how trauma manifests in urban contexts not as an isolated event, but as a symptom of broader patterns of injustice.

Through experiential learning, participants will build capacity for cross-cultural attunement, ethical responsiveness, and justice-informed practice. Rather than focusing solely on trauma as an individual condition, we will explore how systemic instability, racialized harm, and disinvestment co-shape the relational fields we enter as caregivers, clinicians, and community members.

This training meets Maryland’s Health Occupations Structural Racism Training Requirement by examining how embedded inequities live in the body, the city, and the systems we serve—and by inviting participants to imagine more accountable, relationally attuned responses.

Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate between individual trauma and the broader impacts of structural racism, historical harm, and systemic violence in urban communities.

2. Analyze how mislabeling systemic oppression as individual trauma obscures root causes and reinforces inequities.

3. Apply culturally responsive, justice-oriented strategies to support healing and resilience in communities impacted by structural racism.

Supervision isn’t just an administrative task—it’s how we shape the future of social work. From new grads to seasoned staff, supervision is where learning deepens, identity forms, and professional responsibility is passed on. This training invites social work supervisors, educators, and team leads to see supervision as both support and stewardship: a place to grow people, uphold standards, and protect the values of the profession. We’ll explore: * How supervision supports both the business and reputation of social work * What it means to carry a responsibility to the profession as a supervisor * Practical tools for guiding new graduates as they move from classroom to real-world complexity * Clear strategies for supervising generalist-trained social workers as they transition into clinical roles—navigating emotional weight, ethical boundaries, and the shift in identity You’ll leave with reflective tools, conversation practices, and fresh clarity about how to use supervision as a force for good—both in your team and for the profession as a whole.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By the end of this training, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the role and purpose of supervision in social work as a tool for support, growth, and upholding the integrity of the profession.
(CSWE Competency 1: Demonstrate Ethical and Professional Behavior) 2. Explore how supervision influences both the daily operations (the “business” of social work) and the public image (the “brand”) of the field.
(CSWE Competency 6: Engage with Systems) 3. Reflect on the social worker’s responsibility to the profession—including how we model values, shape the culture of practice, and support ethical standards in others.
(CSWE Competency 1 + 5: Engage in Policy Practice; Advance the Profession) 4. Learn how to help new graduates transition from classroom to practice, using supervision as a bridge between theory and real-world complexity.
