In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, hundreds of thousands took to the streets in righteous protest. As social workers, it’s our duty to work for social justice, and advocate for equitable policies and systems. Can we take part in activism, such as protests, as professionals and practitioners – or does engagement in this way need to remain personal? Will getting arrested during a peaceful protest affect our social work licenses? Knowing that we remain social workers both in and outside of our practice setting, there may be a number of questions and conflicts that come up for us related to our licensure, ethics, and values.

Come take part in a panel discussion where social workers engaged in activism consider these questions and shed light on how we can ethically partake in social activism and movements for change. This webinar may be counted as ethics or general CEUs.

About the Presenters

Katy Armendariz, MSW, LICSW started Minnesota CarePartner in 2014 – a child welfare agency that addresses mental health and chemical health needs of children and families from a racial justice perspective. She saw a need for in-home services for those who cannot make it to a clinic due to physical, mental, social, financial and/or transportation barriers. Due to the racial and attachment trauma of her experience, she is dedicated to helping others who have experienced trauma in their lives through a historical and systematic trauma lens. She is in recovery and commits her life to supporting the trauma healing and recovery of the community.

Jolene Engelking, LISW is the Beacon Project Coordinator at the Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition. She was appointed to the Minnesota Board of Social Work in 2018. She is a White Earth descendant who has spent most of her life in rural Minnesota.

An additional area of personal and professional interest is the professionalization of social justice movements.
