You’re invited to join NASW for an inspiring Student Series webinar that celebrates the power of strengths-based care in social work practice. Together, we’ll explore how centering clients’ strengths, resilience, and lived expertise—grounded in the NASW Code of Ethics—can lead to more meaningful, collaborative, and effective outcomes. This session will highlight person-centered approaches, practical strategies for identifying strengths, intentional language use, and real-world practice examples that uplift client voice, promote self-determination, and foster lasting change. ALL are welcome!

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes how professionals deliver care, social workers in private practice stand at the intersection of technology and human connection. This panel brings together social workers in private practice to explore how AI can enhance or hinder care. This panel will discuss the pros and cons, benefits, and challenges of using AI as a tool. We hope that attendees will leave with practical insights and best practices for using AI effectively.
