This CEU presentation examines Black feminist theory as both a mode of analysis and a practice of historical preservation, with direct applications for social work. Beginning with Sojourner Truth’s 1851 Ain’t I a Woman speech and moving through case studies of Ida B. Wells, Black women’s clubs, the Combahee River Collective, and the Movement for Black Lives, the session traces how Black women’s testimonies and organizing traditions function as living archives of resistance and liberation. Grounded in intersectional and community-based approaches, the presentation demonstrates how Black feminism sustains collective memory, resists erasure, and generates strategies for navigating systemic oppression. Participants will connect these lessons to social work competencies, including cultural humility, community engagement, and advocacy. By highlighting the intellectual and political labor of Black women as both preservation and praxis, this session equips social workers with frameworks and tools to integrate Black feminist principles into direct practice, program design, and policy work, advancing anti-oppressive practice in diverse settings. 

Technology and the internet have ushered in new ways of engaging, serving, and meeting with clients. Increasingly, clinicians are providing services via technology and the internet.
This new reality has forced providers to be more creative in offering remote and electronic services to clients. Clinicians are still bound to many of the same ethical and legal standards; however, the digital age has brought forth a new set of challenges that we must consider. The presenter will discuss various ethical considerations related to providing e-therapy and electronic clinical services. We will also provide suggestions regarding navigating ethical challenges related to offering services via other forms of technology (telephone, email, and more).

Section 1.06 of the NEW NASW Code of Ethics states: Social workers should be aware that posting personal information on professional websites or other media
might cause boundary confusion, inappropriate dual relationships, or harm to clients. Social workers should be aware that personal affiliations may increase the likelihood that clients
may discover the social worker’s presence on Web sites, involvement in electronic communication with groups social media, and other forms of technology. Social workers should be aware that involvement in electronic communication with groups based on race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, mental or physical ability, religion, immigration status, and other personal affiliations may affect their ability to work effectively with particular clients. This interactive training will examine considerations that social workers should take into account when deciding to join online groups, post videos to social media sites, and post comments to online articles. Lastly, the training will make use case study reviews and small group discussions.
