Description

The CASW Code of Ethics (2005) says, “Ethical behaviour comes from a social worker’s individual commitment to engage in ethical practice. Both the spirit and the letter of this Code of Ethics will guide social workers as they act in good faith and with a genuine desire to make sound judgements.”  

Workplace stress can challenge Social Workers’ mental health and therefore affect their ability to maintain a meaningful and effective professional practice.   

This webinar uses the principles of a Cognitive Behavior Therapy to provide Social Workers with a framework to examine their own professional practice, to be able to identify their unique needs to enhance or improve professional effectiveness and then to formulate an action plan to address those needs to maintain a lasting and meaningful professional practice for years to come.
