10 CEUs (9 Clinical; 1 Social/Cultural)

Advance Care Planning Certificate

End-of-life planning is a sensitive topic and social workers are ideally suited to initiate and guide these discussions as they explore an individual’s values and preferences. In fact, a reported 96 percent of clinical social workers conduct advance care planning conversations (ACP) and 80 percent are responsible for educating patients and families about ACP options. 

NASW-NJ, in partnership with Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey, has developed a certificate program for those new to these conversations and for seasoned professionals who would like a deeper understanding of the issue.  This is the only certificate ACP course in NJ! 

The three-part program includes:  2 CEU hours of pre-foundational reading; 4 CEU hours On-Demand videos and culminates in 4 CEU hours of live instruction (March 8, 2022, 9AM-1PM).

Our experienced faculty: 

David Barile, MD, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey.

Tracy Grafton, LCSW, ACHP-SW, Palliative Care Program, Hackensack Meridian Health

Laurie Powsner, LCSW, Director of Operations, Your CarePlan
