Webinar: Artificial Intelligence in Social Work: Emerging Ethical and Risk Management Issues, with speaker Frederic G. Reamer, Ph.D.Wednesday, October 15 (12-1:30pm EST) | 1.5 Professional Ethics

Artificial intelligence is being used in social work to conduct client risk assessments, assist people in crisis, strengthen prevention efforts, record clinical notes, identify systemic biases in the delivery of social services, provide social work education and supervision, and predict social worker burnout and service outcomes, among other uses. This webinar will examine cutting-edge ethical issues related to social workers’ use of AI; apply relevant ethical standards; and outline elements of a strategy for social workers’ ethical use of AI. Join Dr. Frederic Reamer as he examines ethical issues and risks related to informed consent and client autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; transparency; potential client misdiagnosis; client abandonment; client surveillance; plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud, and misrepresentation; algorithmic bias and unfairness; and use of evidence-based AI tools. Click here to register


Webinar: Supporting Patients with Hidden Illness, with speaker Jaclyn French, LICSW | Tuesday, October 28 (12-1:30pm EST) | 1.5 Cross-cultural Practice 

This seminar will explore approaches to mental health treatment for individuals living with Long Covid and other less visible illnesses. The post-viral illness now commonly known as Covid includes a wide array of symptoms, including brain fog, memory deficits, fatigue, sensory disturbances, and more. With these myriad physical and cognitive changes, patients see widespread changes to their daily functioning, financial and social strain as well. Other chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune illness that are both not always visible on the surface and can vary in presentation cause similar distress & confusion in patients and their providers. The cumulative toll of hidden illness creates increased stress, overwhelm, and mental health impacts. Before considering treatment approaches, this seminar will first explore the individual, family, and societal factors that impact patient experience and presentation, in the intersectionality with various forms of oppression.
