Rooted in trauma-responsive, justice-centered practice, this training examines how silence, clinical, organizational, cultural, and systemic, can reinforce harm and perpetuate inequity across all levels of social work practice. Participants will explore the intersection of ethics, power, trauma, policy, and systemic accountability through a framework that integrates micro, mezzo, and macro practice. Using applied case examples, this training challenges participants to critically examine what ethical action requires in real-world practice settings using an ethical responsiveness model.

Objectives:

• Analyze the role of silence in ethical social work practice.
• Evaluate the impact of systemic factors on clinical outcomes
• Implement ethical disruption strategies in practice settings
• Apply an ethical responsiveness model across all levels of social work practice.
