NASW NYS Chapter Now Offering Ethics Consultation

As a service to members, trained ethics consultants from the NASW-NYS Chapter Ethics Committee will now be providing ethics consultations for current NASW members. Ethics consultations are a resource for chapter members who are experiencing an ethical dilemma. We do not provide advice or tell members what to do. However, we do guide them through the NASW Code of Ethics and point them to the areas of the Code that address their concerns. We provide dialogue and considerations that allow members to make ethical decisions. We may also refer members to alternate resources if their questions do not appear to be related to ethics but are more related to legal issues or standards of practice.

To Receive an Ethics Consult

Call 1-800-724-6279 x20 Ask to speak with the Office Manager, and provide your name and contact information (best time to contact you). This will be forwarded to an ethics consultant who will follow up with you.  All calls are confidential.
