Join us for an educational workshop on Wednesday June 29. Using a reproductive justice framework, this presentation introduces the concept of self-managed abortion (SMA). The audience will gain an understanding of the role of social workers in relation to SMA, legal issues, and how to help stop the criminalization of our clients for self-managing their own abortion care. The presentation will also address how the social work code of ethics informs our practice when a client chooses to self-manage their abortion. 1 Law & Ethics CEU will be provided. Sign in and sign out/evaluation completion are required.
