DESCRIPTOON: Can social workers in rural settings work with clients they know personally? Maintaining professional boundaries is a legal and ethical responsibility, but it’s especially complex in small communities. This session provides real-world insights into ethical dilemmas faced by rural social workers and a framework to navigate them effectively while minimizing legal liability and client harm.

After this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the ethical and legal responsibility of social workers in rural settings to maintain appropriate professional boundaries with the students and families they serve.
- Define dual relationships within a rural community.
- Apply a framework to avoid dual relationships whenever possible.

April is #NationalDiversityAwarenessMonth!

The social work profession celebrates diversity and the belief that we are stronger together. As social workers, we are called to speak out against actions and language that serve to erode those values.

This month, let's continue to uplift diverse voices, advocate for equity, and challenge injustice wherever we see it. Together, we make a difference!
