Radical Self-Care as Resistance—Navigating Professional Ethics in the Current Climate

Presented by The Council on the Role and Status of Women in Social Work Education (Women's Council)
Monday, March 31, 2025 at 1:00 PM ET
CE Eligible

This webinar explores the connection between self-care, ethical practice, and professional sustainability through a coaching-based lens. Participants will engage in self-coaching strategies, reflective exercises, and guided discussions designed to deepen self-awareness, align actions with core values, and reframe internal narratives around self-care. The session will challenge the notion that prioritizing well-being is selfish, instead positioning it as a necessary foundation for ethical excellence.

Through an interactive session, participants will leave with a renewed understanding of radical self-care as an ethical responsibility and the tools to integrate it into their professional lives in a meaningful and sustainable way. Whether you are a social worker navigating systemic challenges or striving to maintain ethical clarity under pressure, this webinar will provide the insights and strategies needed to practice self-care as a form of resistance and radical self-compassion.

Monday, April 7, 2025 at 3:00 - 4:30 PM ET

As social workers, our ethical code and professional responsibilities compel us to resist injustice and advance collective liberation. In an era of shifting social and political landscapes, we must actively strategize within education and practice to uphold our commitments to equity and justice. This town hall convenes representatives from key councils and commissions to discuss how they are addressing these challenges, forging global connections, and fostering community care. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to strengthen resistance, deepen solidarity, and drive meaningful action in their work.
