SUMMARY:Professional Boundaries: Ethical Obligations of Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Can mental health professionals work with clients that they know from outside of the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries\, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This class brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This class will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. \nRegister for May 4 \nRegister for June 1 \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \n\nThis class is designed to meet the New York state requirement that mental health professionals receive three hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries (effective April 2023). This class is not specific to New York state and can satisfy ethics and boundaries training requirements for any state.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Healthcare Social Work Documentation to Mitigate Bias
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare social workers engage in discipline-specific\, skilled interventions informed by training\, best practices\, and attunement to social justice. Documenting assessments and interventions clearly communicates the value of the social work perspective\, skills\, and contributions and influences outcomes while also contributing to the learning of those who read our work. This class will review the literature on bias in documentation in the medical record\, a focus driven by the advent of “open notes” as of April 2021. Sample patient notes and narratives will be used to illustrate how social work documentation communicates best practices and has the potential to mitigate bias while integrating the impacts of social determinants. \nNo matter the setting\, word choice is foundational to communication and documentation and significantly impacts patient family experiences\, decisional outcomes\, bereavement\, and legacy. We will explore attributed meanings underlying words and phrases used in health care and unintended consequences. Our spoken words are often reflected in the written words and phrases used in documentation in a medical record\, which is a permanent record influencing care. This class will expand on language and word choice and highlight the ethical responsibility in documenting authentically and with the awareness that documentation is permanent\, creates opportunities to mitigate bias\, and can maximize the impact of the social work lens of “person in environment.” \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Moral Distress: What It Is and How to Respond
DESCRIPTION:The concept of moral distress refers to a clinical situation in which the patient is perceived to be “suffering” and the clinician knows what they feel to be the best course of action\, but that course conflicts with what is best for the organization\, other providers\, other patients\, the family\, or society as a whole. Moral distress can occur when the professional feels a sense of heightened moral responsibility and a perception of powerlessness. \nWhile moral distress was first recognized among nurses\, we now know that moral distress affects physicians\, pharmacists\, social workers\, chaplains\, psychologists\, and other healthcare providers. This class covers the experience of moral distress\, its impact on clinicians of multiple disciplines\, and the specific impact of moral distress among palliative care teams. Special attention will be given to the impact of the pandemic on moral distress. Strategies for recognizing and dealing with the experience of moral distress in individuals\, teams\, and within health systems will be considered. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Stories Between Christianity and Islam: A Conversation with Reyhan Durmaz
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the next episode of its webinar series highlighting the scholarly insights and academic careers of female scholars whose research and writing explore some facet of the history\, thought\, or culture of Orthodox Christianity. This episode will feature Reyhan Durmaz and Ashley Purpura. \nThe broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. The event will include some time for live audience questions. For those who miss the live event\, the center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel. \nAbout Reyhan Durmaz\nIn this talk\, Reyhan Durmaz will reflect on her recently published book and her current research projects. In Stories between Christianity and Islam (UCP 2022)\, Durmaz investigates the dynamics underlying the transmissions of saints’ stories between Christianity and Islam. By analyzing a broad group of Greek\, Syriac\, and Arabic texts from the fourth to the 14th century\, she revisits the lively scholarly conversations about orality\, authorship\, authority\, and memory in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Through the lens of saints’ stories\, their narrators\, and their audiences\, she argues against literary taxonomies\, such as “Christian” and “Islamic” texts. \nShe demonstrates that Christian saints’ stories facilitated ongoing conversations between Christians and Muslims about the shared divine past\, conceptualizations of sanctity\, and communal identities. As the faculty fellow at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is working on a new monograph that reconstructs the various forms and expressions of Christianities in the medieval Middle Eastern countryside. The history of Christianity in the Middle East is often studied in light of theological developments and in relation to the presumed dominance of Islam. The book highlights that in rural regions\, far from the centers of clerical authority and Islamic influence\, Christianity manifested in diverse ways\, displaying complex dynamics of religious authority\, communal belonging\, and ritual practice. In the talk\, Durmaz will give examples of material culture and literary sources she uses in her project in order to study Middle Eastern Christianity. \nDurmaz is working on two other related projects. In one\, she investigates forms of religious skepticism beyond philosophical writings of the elite in the medieval Middle East\, with an eye to destabilizing the Eurocentric narratives of secularization and the implied European roots of modernity. For the other\, she studies the role Orthodox Christians have played in the making of publics in the U.S. Her analysis of the first Arabic newspaper in North America\, Kawkab Amrika\, founded by Christians from Lebanon\, is forthcoming in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion. The talk will address these intertwined projects on Middle Eastern Christians at home and in diaspora.

SUMMARY:The Russia Question Hosts Serhii Plokhy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Serhii Plokhy on his recent book\, The Russo-Ukrainian War. \nDespite repeated warnings from the White House\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military. The West has united\, and Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy\, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War\, offers a definitive account of this conflict\, its origins\, course\, and both the already-apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault—on February 27\, 2014\, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament—the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier\, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the 19th and 20th centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures\, as well as domestic and international politics\, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable\, it was predictable. \nUkraine\, Plokhy argues\, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons\, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order\, and a resurgence of populist nationalism\, Ukraine is more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. \nThe Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director at Fordham College at Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:Navigating Microaggressions Through the Lens of Clinicians of Color
DESCRIPTION:While social workers work to raise our collective voices of protest against blatant forms of racism in society\, we may be less sensitive to “the subtle\, cumulative mini-assault [that]is the substance of today’s racism” present in our profession. Microaggressions are often illusive and nuanced\, verbal and nonverbal acts that reflect the superiority\, hostility\, and discrimination of the dominant culture against a minority. They prove to be more insidious than overt forms of racism because they are easier to go unnamed and\, therefore\, invalidated. \nIt is imperative that social workers increase their attunement and consciousness of microaggressions\, not only in society at large but also in their profession. This class will review ways in which racial microaggressions are experienced by and impact clinicians of color in a variety of settings. It seeks to illuminate a framework to understand clinicians’ disenfranchised experiences\, particularly in clinical environments that are susceptible to act as depositories of transference and countertransference. From the perspective of the professional experience of clinicians of color and a review of literature\, we will explore ways to forge critical awareness of the subject. The goals of the presentation are for participants to critically reflect on their practice\, become more informed\, and learn new practices to become aware of microaggressions\, ultimately supporting and creating alliances with their peer clinicians of color. \nClinicians who complete this course will receive 1.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Supporting Children Involved with the Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Children participate in adult-oriented and adult-controlled court systems on a daily basis. Many of these children are victims of\, or witnesses to\, trauma and are frequently retraumatized by a justice system that does not always adjust to their needs. \nThis class will discuss the experiences of children involved in the justice system\, techniques for quick rapport-building and engagement when meeting children in court\, supportive ways to explain the justice system in developmentally appropriate language\, and how to provide trauma-informed\, effective advocacy for a population that is often left voiceless. It will also cover best practices for a multidisciplinary team approach to supporting court-involved children\, including how a social worker can advocate for the value of one’s expertise within such a team\, as well as how to support non-social work colleagues dealing with secondary trauma from this work. \nThis class will provide an understanding of a child’s rights within the justice system\, ideas and tools to help them cope with the emotional stress\, and tips for those who may prepare children to testify in court. As forensic social workers and clinicians\, we must learn how to empower children and their caregivers to have a better understanding of the complicated justice systems that often dictate their lives. Participants will also learn about procedural justice with special considerations for children and caregivers\, as well as ethical considerations for a social worker when working within the justice system\, including advocacy versus best interest. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of this class.

SUMMARY:Choice in Dying: Current Legal\, Policy\, and Ethical Issues
DESCRIPTION:Many patients\, particularly at the end of life\, do not receive quality care. Palliative and hospice care are not often provided in a timely manner\, if at all. Additionally\, the healthcare wishes of patients are often not honored\, and dying patients may receive interventions they never wanted. Patients who experience intolerable suffering may not know of options that could reduce their suffering and allow them to die with dignity\, in accordance with their values and wishes. In order to make informed decisions about end-of-life care\, patients must be given information about the expected benefits and burdens of proposed interventions\, as well as the consequences of changing the focus of care to comfort. This class will present legal options that permit patients control over the timing of their own death\, including voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED). Social workers can play an important role as catalysts for better quality care for patients at the end of life to ensure that their healthcare wishes are respected. \nFour continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Caring for Caregivers Who Support Suicidal Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:This class introduces a three-step suicide caregiver support model that gives providers a framework for how to work with caregivers of persons who are thinking about suicide The process starts with helping caregivers prepare their care approach by reflecting on their own personal experiences and beliefs. Next\, caregivers are equipped with skills and resources to support their loved ones. Lastly\, discussions around how to implement a self-care plan\, including setting limits\, help caregivers sustain their own wellness. Participants will learn practical tools to help them implement each step of this holistic model. Challenges to working with caregivers will also be explored. \nUpon completion of this class\, social workers will be equipped with tools to support suicide caregivers in both community and individual settings. This class is designed to guide experienced providers in expanding existing interventions to include family members and caregivers when caring for individuals who are thinking about suicide. Participants in a wide range of practice settings may benefit from learning this framework for their practice. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: J .Bradford DeLong on Slouching Towards Utopia an Economic History of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Before 1870\, much of humanity lived in dire poverty\, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: Invention sprinted forward\, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we’d use such powers to build a utopia. But it was not so. Instead\, when the period between 1870 and 2010 ended\, the world saw climate change; economic depression\, uncertainty\, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo. \nEconomist Brad DeLong’s Slouching Towards Utopia tells the story of how this unprecedented explosion of material wealth occurred\, how it transformed the globe\, and why it failed to deliver us to utopia. Of remarkable breadth and ambition\, it reveals the last century to have been less a march of progress than a slouch in the right direction. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:An Anti-Oppression Framework for Social Work Practice
DESCRIPTION:Social workers are well-positioned to provide high-quality\, culturally responsive care rooted in an anti-oppression framework that attends to historic harms. In fact\, it is an obligation of a profession that is rooted in social justice. Yet social workers still cause harm and are complicit to racism in micro\, mezzo\, and macro practice. This two-part class will introduce and build upon concepts\, theoretical foundations\, and social work history to build a platform by which social workers can actively engage in social work practice rooted in anti-oppression and contribute to decolonizing across systems. The class will provide opportunities for participants to engage in self-reflection and interrogate the roots of social work practice. \nFour continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Alan Blinder on A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States\, 1961–2021
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual event with Alan Blinder\, one of the world’s most influential economists\, as he discusses his latest book\, in conversation with renowned economic historian and former Museum of American Finance chairman Richard Sylla. In A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States\, 1961–2021\, Blinder draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of 60 years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning 12 presidents\, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden\, and eight Federal Reserve chairs\, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell\, this is an insider’s story of macroeconomic policy that hasn’t been told before. \nFocusing on the most significant developments and long-term changes\, Blinder traces the highs and lows of monetary and fiscal policy\, which have cooperated and clashed through recessions and several long booms over the past six decades. From the fiscal policy of Kennedy’s New Frontier to Biden’s responses to the pandemic\, the book takes readers through the stagflation of the 1970s\, the conquest of inflation under Jimmy Carter and Paul Volcker\, the rise of Reaganomics\, and the bubbles of the 2000s before bringing the story up through recent events―including the financial crisis\, the Great Recession\, and monetary policy during COVID-19. \nAbout the Speakers\nAlan Blinder is a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University and a regular columnist for the Wall Street Journal. He served as a member of President Bill Clinton’s original Council of Economic Advisers and then as vice chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 1993 to 1996. Blinder has written scores of scholarly articles and authored or co-authored 21 books\, including bestsellers After the Music Stopped (2013) and Advice and Dissent (2018). \nRichard Sylla is a professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at the NYU Stern School of Business. He is the author or co-author of several books\, including Alexander Hamilton on Finance\, Credit\, and Debt; Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography; and Genealogy of American Finance. He was chairman of the Museum of American Finance from 2010 to 2020. \nAdvance registration is required.

SUMMARY:Common Practice Challenges: Working with People Impacted by Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Caring for those impacted by cancer is an increasingly common occurrence\, regardless of a social worker’s practice setting. As our population ages\, more people are diagnosed\, and although treatments have significantly prolonged life for many\, cancer is still a leading cause of death in the U.S. and across the world. And unfortunately\, treatment for cancer may have negative effects on a person’s quality of life for decades. The impacts of a cancer diagnosis and its treatment are felt not just by the person living with the illness\, but by their family\, care partners\, and communities—and may last across generations. Earlier discharges and more complicated treatment regimes are dependent upon others devoting time and attention to caring for ever-sicker patients at home. \nThe financial toxicity associated with rising medical costs is tremendous and the No. 1 cause of personal bankruptcy. These burdens of cancer care are inequitably distributed\, with disparities in outcomes associated with marginalized populations. Delayed diagnoses\, limited access to quality care\, lack of adequate insurance\, and greater social risk factors are all associated with poorer outcomes and offer opportunities for social work advocacy and intervention. \nThis interactive workshop will provide social workers in a range of settings with information needed to recognize and better address the impacts of cancer on all those they serve. Three continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Health Care When You’re Not “Doing Therapy”
DESCRIPTION:Trauma-informed care is more than just the newest catchphrase: It’s a paradigmatic shift away from delineating the traumas themselves and aids the clinician in focusing on a person having traumatic responses. In health care\, where long-term trauma therapy is not often the focus of work\, it’s necessary to help clinicians better understand how trauma-informed care can help them provide more attuned and more regulating interventions\, no matter how short the session time—or even if you’re sitting on a patient’s bedside commode for the meeting. The role of trauma-informed stabilization and psychoeducation in health care will be explored. Recognizing how our bodies respond to adversity\, and how this manifests in and is impacted by the experience of illness and health care\, can better inform targeted\, short-term interventions and crisis work. \nThe class is experiential and may be evocative\, and requires focused\, active participation and reflection. Two continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Self-Care for Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:While most social workers are well aware of the importance of self-care\, this knowledge doesn’t necessarily translate into robust self-care practices. Today’s social workers are more in need than ever of accessible methods for contending with the threats posed by burnout. This class draws on a variety of Ayurvedic practices that social workers can incorporate into a sustainable and effective self-care plan. It will start with an overview of Ayurveda\, a holistic medical system premised on balancing our nervous systems\, minds\, bodies\, and spirits via simple\, daily lifestyle habits. This workshop provides an overview of some of Ayurveda’s core daily habits and how they can help social workers manage burnout symptoms. Practiced regularly\, these habits balance our circadian rhythms\, lead to deeper states of restoration and rest\, and achieve a shift from feeling overwhelmed toward ease in mind and body. Ayurvedic tools like rhythmic eating practices for healthy digestion\, self-massage for grounding the nervous system\, and meditation for mental and emotional stability are central to this workshop. We will also discuss methods for effectively integrating new self-care habits. The importance of workplace culture\, leadership buy-in and modeling of self-care\, and collective self-care will also be discussed. The workshop will conclude with a solution-focused group exercise for creating a simple self-care action plan. \nTwo continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Care in Context – Advance Care Planning and the Role of Social Work
DESCRIPTION:Our current healthcare system is fragmented and in need of transformation. Care is inequitably delivered and too often incongruent with patient preferences. Advance care planning conversations lay the foundation for person-centered\, family-focused\, culturally congruent\, goal-concordant quality care. Although ideally occurring over a lifetime\, advance care planning conversations are an essential element of primary palliative care and especially important for those who are seriously ill. Social workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced\, advance-care planning conversations and are often well-positioned to offer leadership in developing advance care planning programs within their organizations. This interactive workshop will explore best practices in advance care planning with a focus on the social work role. Advance care planning tools and resources will be provided. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 3 continuing education hours.
