Canberra Health Services professional development presentation: What sort of health social worker would I like to be in 2022?

Description

Abstract
Global and local events such as COVID-19 and the Black Summer Bushfires have impacted Canberra Health Services and how social workers practice. We will be exploring with Monica and Emma how social work is defined by ethical principles and how these principles influence our current and future practice. Monica and Emma will introduce major ethical theories such as deontology, consequentialism/utilitarianism and virtue ethics and explain how they can interact with the AASW Code of Ethics. In this presentation and associated discussion time, together, we will all explore the question: what sort of health social worker would you like to be in 2022?
