As a profession, social work places much emphasis on diversity and cultural competency, which are incorporated in Our Code of Ethics. In the 2015 revision of our Standards and Indicators for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice, the National Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity revised the definitions of culture and cultural competence and added a definition of cultural humility that is important to social work practice at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. This webinar will review the central concepts of cultural humility; provide opportunities to examine one’s own attitudes and practices in relation to diverse clients, and articulate opportunities for culturally humble practice across micro, mezzo, and macro practice settings.

1 Social Work CEs will be provided. This webinar is for NASW Specialty Practice Sections members only. Learn more about SPS Membership. Sections Members: Register now.

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
