Beyond Clinical Practice: Creating a Professional Will
A Professional Will protects your legacy, your clients, and your colleagues. Every practicing therapist is required to have a plan for their clients’ care in the event of their death, illness, or injury rendering them unable to practice or communicate.
Even if we are comfortable holding space for others’ grief, it can be challenging to face our own mortality and to plan for the unimaginable – especially if we’re trying to do it alone. While you may have a Custodian of Record listed with your Board, how much have you really considered what this means? How much have you considered the impact your unexpected death would have on your clients and colleagues? How much thought have you put into the details of what you might wish to leave behind professionally?
In this 4-hour interactive workshop, participants will explore the ethics of end-of-life planning for therapists while completing their own professional will in community with peers. Facilitator Rosanne Marmor, LCSW, guides the group through a supportive, thoughtful process using her specially designed template and prompts. Participants will need the name and information of their Professional Executor (Custodian of Record).

- Cross Cultural Knowledge: Through developing specialized knowledge and understanding that is inclusive of, but not limited to, the history, values, and artistic expressions of client’s professional and personal identities attributed to people in the sex trades impacted by race and ethnicity; immigration and refugee status; tribal groups; religion and spirituality; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; social class; and mental or physical abilities of various cultural groups.
- Cross Cultural Skills: Social workers will use a broad range of skills (micro, mezzo, and macro) and techniques that demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the importance of culture in practice, policy, and research.
- Service Delivery: Social workers shall be knowledgeable about and skillful in the use of services, resources, and institutions and be available to serve multicultural communities. They shall be able to make culturally appropriate referrals within both formal and informal networks and shall be cognizant of, and work to address, service gaps affecting specific cultural groups.
- Empowerment and Advocacy: Social workers shall be aware of the impact of social systems, policies, practices, and programs on multicultural client populations, advocating for, with, and on behalf of multicultural clients and client populations whenever appropriate. Social workers should also participate in the development and implementation of policies and practices that empower and advocate for marginalized and oppressed populations.
- Professional Education: Social workers shall advocate for, develop, and participate in professional education and training programs that advance cultural competence within the profession. Social workers should embrace cultural competence as a focus of lifelong learning.
