Social Work Continuing Education and Training in AI for Teams
From Foundations to Practice Settings: AI workshops and Webinars for Teams of Social Work Practitioners & Human Services Departments. Build professional development hours plus the confidence and competence to use AI without violating ethics.
AI in Social Work Isn't a Question of Whether. It's a Question of How.
You and your team entered this profession to be present with people at their most vulnerable—not to spend hours buried under administrative load. Case notes, treatment plans, psychoeducational materials, and community resource mapping are competing for the hours that belong to patient care.
Meanwhile, clients are bringing AI into the therapeutic room—asking chatbots for coping strategies or processing crises between sessions. Your staff isn't just deciding whether to use AI for paperwork; they are forced to handle what clients are already bringing through the door.
Continuing ed repeats the same generic ethics refreshers. Online tutorials are written for marketers, not for practitioners carrying heavy caseloads and holding a shared Code of Ethics. Some of your staff are secretly prompting case notes to survive the day; others refuse to touch it. Neither has an answer—just a guess.
"My staff is already using ChatGPT, and I don't know what they're putting into it."
Social workers are overwhelmed by documentation—they are looking for relief, with or without official agency guidance.
"We need ethics CEs, but we want training on what practitioners are actually running into now."
Generic tech tutorials don't address HIPAA, client confidentiality, or the NASW Code of Ethics—and they won't tell you what is actually safe to input into a model.
"Clients are using mental health chatbots, and we don't have a framework for that."
Clients are turning to AI for emotional support and decision-making. Practitioners need a clinical framework to address this ethically—not pretend it isn't happening.
"Some staff are prompting case notes; others won't touch it."
How do you build one shared, responsible agency standard instead of five different comfort levels doing five different things?

—For Social Workers
I know what a Tuesday actually looks like in human services: the caseload that doesn't shrink, the documentation piling up after an exhausting session, and the fear of making an ethical mistake when a client's well-being is on the line. I carried that weight. I sat in supervision hearing the exact same worries about AI your staff are voicing right now.
I've watched generic, well-meaning tech trainings completely miss the point because they were built by tech marketers who have never held a crisis case or abided by a Code of Ethics.
When you bring this training to your team, you aren't just filling a professional development requirement. You are giving your staff practical, clinical-grade tools built by someone who understands what is at stake—easing their workload while protecting the heart of the profession.

3 AI Training Pathways for
Social Work Practitioners
Every organization arrives at a different stage of AI adoption. Some are exploring AI for the first time and want practical literacy before anything else. Others already know they need governance policies, board education, or guidance for clinical supervision.
PATHWAY 1
Foundational AI Training Workshops
Ethically compliant, practical AI training for social work teams ready to use these tools with real confidence — not just theory.
For social work teams, state and chapter associations, and cross-setting organizations building a shared AI foundation.
You don't need to become an AI expert. You need to know what's actually safe to use, and how to use it well.
This pathway starts with the ethical foundation — client privacy, confidentiality, informed consent, cultural humility, algorithmic bias — then moves into real application: drafting assessments, developing psychoeducational materials, conducting community resource research, and using tools like Gemini, NotebookLM, and Copilot with real skill, not just familiarity. Along the way, your team also learns how to tell a generic AI tool from one actually built for the task in front of them, so nobody's guessing which AI tool belongs where.
Format: Interactive workshop [duration/delivery PENDING]
Key Deliverable: A Generative AI Prompt Guidebook for Social Work Practice, built to support ethical, client-centered use across every level of practice
You leave with reusable prompts, a shared ethical foundation your whole team can point to, and the confidence to use AI without losing the professional judgment that brought you into this work.
PATHWAY 2
Field-Specific AI Training
Same ethical foundation. Built for your field.
For social workers, counselors, and human service professionals working in a specific practice setting.
Fields Covered:
Hospital Social Workers
School Social Workers & School Counselors
Court & Forensic Social Workers
Child Welfare Social Workers
Domestic Violence Social Workers & Advocates
College Counselors
Geriatric & Aging Services Social Workers
Format: Interactive workshop [duration/delivery PENDING]
Key Deliverable: A field-specific prompt guidebook and risk framework, built around the tools and scenarios of your setting
You leave with practical experience applying AI to the situations you actually face, and language for explaining to your organization why your field's risk isn't the same as anyone else's.
PATHWAY 3
AI and Its Impact on Mental Health
When Clients use AI: The deeper track — for the client relationship itself, not just the paperwork around it.
For social workers, counselors, psychologists, and other mental health clinicians and behavioral health providers ready for case-level application.
Clients are turning to AI companions and therapy chatbots for emotional support, coping strategies, and crisis guidance — and clinicians are the ones left to make sense of what that means for the therapeutic relationship. This pathway moves past general awareness into real clinical skill: assessing a client's AI use as part of a biopsychosocial evaluation, recognizing the difference between adaptive use and clinically significant impairment, and responding to complex scenarios like grief following an AI companion's shutdown or problematic emotional dependence.
Format: Interactive workshop [duration/delivery PENDING]
Key Deliverable: Evidence-informed assessment questions and intervention frameworks you can bring into your next session
You leave with the clinical language to ask a client about their AI use the same way you'd ask about any other part of their life — and the judgment to know when it's a coping strategy, and when it's a red flag.
Less Time on Paperwork. More Confidence. Better Care for the People in Front of You.
Save Time with a Smart and Actionable Ethics Decision Framework
Build Ethical Confidence using tools aligned with the NASW Code of Ethics and HIPAA-Aware AI Checklist
Communicate More Clearly; with agency policies, supervision practices, and professional standards that actually guide responsible AI use, not just describe it
Reduce Burnout by simplifying your systems to support intervention planning, documentation, resource development, psychoeducational materials, client communication, supervision, and program development.
Prioritize Self-Care so you can show up fully—for yourself and your clients
There are a lot of Social Work continuing education trainings that seem general and hard to apply.
I know you and your Social Work Team don't need an abstract lecture on technology trends or generic AI instructions.
I built this training around what your team is actually running into — participants leave with practical strategies, reusable prompts, and increased confidence integrating AI into their daily work in ways that enhance efficiency while preserving the human relationships, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making that define the social work profession.

AI Workshops FAQs
-
Always an organization — 99% of the time, someone's reaching out on behalf of their team, not for themselves.
Individual clinicians do sometimes forward this page to a supervisor to get it started. -
I don't award them myself — that's not something I can do independently.
What I provide is the full documentation package: CV, learning objectives, timed agenda, and recent scholarly citations. Your organization takes that and applies for accreditation on their end. -
That's the question underneath most of this training. I teach staff exactly what should never go into an AI tool — not as a rule to memorize, but as judgment they can apply the next time they're not sure.
-
Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and NotebookLM most often, plus whatever's already approved or in use at your organization — I'm not selling a tool, I'm teaching judgment that travels across whichever one your team ends up using.
-
The ethical foundation doesn't move. The examples do — a hospital team and a school team aren't working through the same scenarios, even in a session built on the same core framework.
-
Equity-based sliding scale. Small community nonprofits and shelters start as low as $100, so a limited budget doesn't shut anyone out. Hospitals, school districts, and universities are typically $1,000+, reflecting their capacity and the scope of a full training.
Reach out and I'll give you a number specific to your organization, not a generic range.
