Did you know that the NASW Code of Ethics now has a mandate for social worker self-care?

Join Boston University School of Social Work’s (BUSSW) Worcester Hybrid MSW Program for a free interactive workshop exploring the new self-care expectations and how the profession is responding to institutional barriers. The workshop will explore various principles of self-care and provide examples for individual and collective practices.

1.5 social work continuing education credits will be available to social workers licensed in Massachusetts (approval pending).

Boston University strives to be accessible, inclusive and diverse in our facilities, programming and academic offerings. Your experience in this event is important to us. If you have a disability, require communication access services for the deaf or hard of hearing, or believe that you require a reasonable accommodation for another reason, please contact Deb Berglin at dberglin@bu.edu at least one week prior to the event date to discuss your needs.
