Ethics and Self-Care in Social Work Practice Ethics guide professional conduct, especially in social work, where practitioners navigate complex human issues. The NASW Code of Ethics outlines six core values foundational to social work practice, including service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence (NASW, 2021; Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2023). These values reinforce ethical decision making and practice standards, equipping social workers to navigate dilemmas and uphold integrity (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2023).

The coursework in my major has taught me about theoretical foundations of social work ethics, methods to assessing individuals in need, and advocacy for social justice issues. The cross-cultural awareness that I have developed from my social work classes has broadened my perspective on the importance of making decisions based off of integrity and core values that affect many communities. I have recognized the significance of macro-level advocacy through intervention in politics to efficiently improve social conditions. My shift in path from micro to macro-level advocacy has developed through the continuous social injustice issues that has been brought to my attention and my belief in the importance of influencing legislation to promote change.

Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).
