Format: Hosted in Preferra Learn LMS / Zoom Integrated

Target Audience: Social Workers

We are all fully aware that artificial intelligence is here and it is not going anywhere. We encounter it in both our personal and professional lives. By understanding the basics, we can choose to enable or disable it as we see fit.

Many social workers already use artificial intelligence in their work, whether through tools implemented by their employers or within their own private practice settings.

As a private practitioner, it is essential to evaluate the need for artificial intelligence in your practice before adopting it. Like other technological tools, AI can help alleviate workload, however, professionals must be fully aware of the risks associated with its implementation.

This 90-minute, live, interactive webinar will provide actionable information and guidance that you can implement immediately in your current practice setting.

Only Attendees of this live webinar will receive CE credit!

Course Completion & CE Information
Social workers must attend the entire webinar and complete a course evaluation to receive CE credit.
All states accept ACE providers except New York.

New York does not accept ASWB ACE provider or course/conference approval. Preferra is already in the process of applying for approval as a Continuing Education Provider for LMSWs and LCSWs in New York. We anticipate receiving approval in the first semester of 2026.

Even when a social work board accepts courses offering ASWB ACE credit, licensees are responsible for determining whether courses meet the CE requirements in their jurisdictions. States and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether any individual course may be accepted for credit.
