Description:

Social workers often feel comfortable discussing religion and spirituality with bereaved adults during the initial assessment phase; however, many report limited knowledge of how to ethically integrate this domain throughout the therapeutic process.

Drawing on the NASW Code of Ethics, this interactive, case-based course describes empirically based methods and best practices for integrating bereaved adults’ religious and spiritual beliefs and values across treatment. Participants will explore Forester-Miller and Davis’ Seven-Step Model for ethical decision-making, with particular attention to professional self-awareness as a foundation for ethical competence.

Through case study analysis, small-group activities, and discussion, participants will apply core ethical principles, best practices, and the Seven-Step Model to social work practice with bereaved adults.
