The social work profession has a long history of involvement
in climate justice work. The ecosocial lens provides a way of centering this
work in current social work practice. The presenters are social work professors
and co-editors of a workbook series published by the International Federation
of Social Workers (free for download as PDFs on IFSW.org/shop). The presenters
will discuss multiple examples of social workers from across the globe who have
embraced climate justice work and potential applications for the audience to consider
similar opportunities in their own contexts. This webinar highlights how
climate justice work can be integrated into social work education, research,
and practice to further community and environmental sustainability.

"The Ethics of Documentation in Private Practice" with Dawn Hobdy, LICSW, NASW Director of Ethics and Professional Review. NASW members only.
NASW has updated its Back to School with Social Workers campaign website with COVID-19 resources from School Social Work Association of America, (SSWAA). Watch a short video announcing the update.
The recent high-profile deaths of Black people at the hands of the police, in addition to reoccurring publicized examples of racism around the country within our communities and within our profession, have emboldened demands for massive social change. What action does the NASW (2017) Code of Ethics require of social workers in the face of social injustice, racism, and inequality?
