Abstract:
We have pledged to “advocate for changes in policy and legislation to improve social conditions in order to meet basic human needs and promote social justice.” We will discuss the connections between social work ethics and civic responsibility, with an emphasis on increasing participation in and gathering information about local, state and federal elections. Attention will be given to the concepts of self-care and burnout, with a recognition that civic engagement can replenish us.
