Morning Session: Addressing ethical dilemmas and discrimination: HIV/AIDS as a case study
Speaker: Traci Reno, MSW, LCSW, CSAC

Abstract:
Working across diverse fields of practice, social workers often must address clinical concerns including end of life issues, medication adherence, and equal access to prevention and treatment options, as well as the very real and growing issues of homelessness, substance use and abuse, individual and societal discrimination. Practitioners are met with difficult decisions, which can raise questions or interventions that can create ethical dilemmas at the individual, organizational, or systemic level.

Using HIV/AIDS as a case study, this workshop will help participants identify and understand on their own the connection to ethical dilemmas at the micro and macro levels of practice. Participants will have the opportunity to explore our individual and institutional attitudes and bias, and how to use the five guiding principles to be more mindful in ethical decision making. Come prepared to work in small and large groups and to share resources.

Learning objectives:

  1. Dialog about approaches to ethical practice, and the complexities of stigma and discrimination at the individual and systems levels.
  2. Identify and discuss common ethical dilemmas in social work practice, including HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment.
  3. Review the five principles used to guide ethical decisions.
  4. Apply a brief model to address ethical issues in practice.


Afternoon Session: E-Tech Ethics 2020: Opportunities and Challenges for Social Workers
Speaker: Ellen Fink-Samnick, MSW, ACSW, LCSW, CCM, CRP

Abstract:

Technology continues to captivate the industry and change the face of care delivery, across health or behavioral health care. While the principles of ethical practice have remained constant, a new rash of influences and trends impact how the professional workforce interprets them.

An endless round of HIPAA rules have professionals fixated on ePHI privacy and confidentiality. Quality, client safety, and fraud are front and center, with new risks related to medical identity theft. Duty to Warn, conflicts of interest, and dual relationships prompt confusion amid social media popularity. Telehealth mandates licensure and reimbursement reform to allow for interstate practice. What’s a social worker to do when regulations don’t sync with practice reality?

Connecting real-world case scenarios to established professional resources, as the new Standards for Technology and Social Work Practice and the NASW Code of Ethics, this presenter will provide unique strategies to master the current challenges. Engage in an entertaining, empowering and educational experience.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify 4 ethical challenges for social workers influenced by technology
  2. Discuss professional strategies to manage social media and electronic communication
  3. Apply the new Standards for Technology and Social Work Practice
  4. Identify the 5 steps of E-ACTs©: A Tool for Difficult Decision-Making
