As youth age into adulthood, they typically transition from pediatric medical services to adult providers when they are between 18 and 24 years old. Social workers should be aware of the evidence base around health care transitions for youth, and in pediatric settings, social workers can lead the process to help youth and their families prepare for their transition to adult care.

Understanding Medical Aid in Dying in Clinical Practice
Date: February 18th, 2025 at 10 am PT, 12 CT
Presentation Length: 1 hour
Location: Zoom
Description: Access to medical aid in dying (MAID) has significantly expanded as more states have adopted laws authorizing the medical practice, and two states have stopped requiring that patients who seek MAID reside in their state. As a result, more terminally ill individuals may approach their healthcare teams to learn more about this end-of-life option. In our time together, we will equip you with the knowledge necessary to understand better medical aid in dying and the appropriate resources to better address your patients’ concerns.

The Evolving Threat to Social Workers – And How To Protect Yourself
Date: March 18th, 2025 at 10 am PT, 12 CT
Presentation Length:
1 hour
Location: Zoom
A decade ago, Social Work Today described how social workers experience dangerous situations in their profession. Since then, the danger has greatly increased. One social worker told us her biggest concern was a client following her home. Today, any client can find their social worker’s address with a five-minute Google search. You go to great lengths to preserve your clients’ privacy – you need to be just as vigilant about your own. Our presentation provides strategies that individuals and organizations can implement that would result in a safer home and work environment.
Speaker: Ron Zayas
For more than three decades, Ron Zayas has been an entrepreneur focused on innovative security and technology solutions. His forward-thinking approach to the protection of personal data inspired the founding of Ironwall by Incogni. In addition to addressing the Federal Trade Commission and the National Association of Attorneys General on issues of Internet privacy and security, Ron is a frequent speaker and blogger on the future of online safety technology.
Cost: 1 CEU / $20 Nonmember / Free NASW Member / Free for students (no CEUs)

Date: April 14th, 2025 at 9 am PT, 11 CT
Presentation Length: 6 hour
Location: Zoom
Anxiety is the most commonly diagnosed mental illness in the United States and has grown exponentially in recent years. It touches many of our clients seeking therapy.
Based on years of exploring multiple approaches to treating anxiety, and years of working with clients, Anxiety Unpacked presents a model for conceptualizing the root causes of all anxiety and specific strategies for treating the source of each client’s anxiety. This model provides clients with a new way of understanding their anxiety and targeted strategies to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms of it.
Speaker: Noelle McWard Aquino
