Hustle Hard:
Ethical Considerations of Social Workers with Multiple Jobs

Title: Hustle Hard: Ethical Considerations of Social Workers with Multiple Jobs

Description: The culture of "hustling hard" - holding and working more than one job at a time - is often a topic of discussion among social workers as they develop and navigate their careers, financial responsibilities and societal pressures to “hustle hard”. This interactive live webinar prioritizes intentionally exploring the ethical considerations of this experience and the impacts it has on social workers, their clients, and the field of social work overall. 

Course Agenda: See here for our detailed outline of this course's agenda.
