Values & Ethics

Reference: NASW. (n.d.). Code of Ethics. https://www.socialworkers.org/About/Ethics/Code-of-Ethics/Code-of-Ethics-English

When values and ethics do not align, they can create biases and cause conflict between your professional obligations and your personal ones. I don't believe my values or ethics cause biases directly, but there can be times where it can be hard to implement them when others don't value them as well.
