NASW CODE OF ETHICS
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I am bound by state licensing boards as well as the National Association of Social Work Code of Ethics (see statement below on Charlottesville). If you believe in the ideology associated with any Alt Right group OR Far Left group advocating violence against minorities, women, the LGBTQI community,
specific religions
law enforcement
politicians
or our nation's military,
I am not the right fit for you as a therapist.
The National Association of Social Workers NASW states that white supremacist rallies, violence in Charlottesville, Va. are a blight on American values.
“NASW recognizes and supports the right of all Americans to free speech. However, hate has no place in America. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are currently 917 hate groups in the United States and most are comprised of white supremacists".
NASW STATEMENT REGARDING VIOLENCE AGAINST POLICE:
These tragic incidents have again focused attention on sensible gun laws, policing, and race relations in the United States. NASW hopes these issues will be addressed peacefully. Violence against law enforcement is counterproductive and divisive and will not address the root causes of these social problems.
NASW and members of the social work profession have long been committed to addressing social problems using peaceful means. NASW and social workers also encourage respect for social and cultural diversity in the United States and abroad.
