Self-Care: Our Ethical Responsibilities to Our Clients. You Cannot Pour Water from an Empty Glass
Presenter: Gisele Ferretto, MSW, LCSW-C
Description: The National Association of Social Workers identify self-care as critical for ethical practice. The NASW Code of Ethics states, “Professional self-care is paramount for competent and ethical social work practice. Professional demands, challenging workplace climates, and exposure to trauma warrant that social workers maintain personal and professional health, safety, and integrity.” This workshop will unpack this principle by identifying the ethical issues related to self-care and the delivery of social work. Participants were invited to explore strategies and deepen their self-care practices to enhance best client outcomes. NASW Code of Ethics sections covered: Purpose (last paragraph), 1.01, 1.02, 1.04 and 2.01)
Objectives: Participants will: 1. Identify & define the ethical issues which impact social work intervention and the professional, including primary traumatic stress, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout. 2. Explore strategies for ethical practice including the balance of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue. 3. Identify the causes and signs of stress and obstacles for recovery. 4. Develop an individualized ethical plan including assessment, identification of supports, as well as an agency assessment to support overall well-being and effective client outcomes.
