10 (9 Clinical; 1 Social/Cultural) CEUs

New! 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 NJ, 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 (September 30, 2020, 9AM-1PM).

Our experienced faculty: 

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

Marianne Holler, MD, Chief Medical Officer, VNA Health Group for Hospice, Palliative Medicine and the Advanced Care Institute.

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