Professional membership offers a foundational guide for creating on-line resources, notably through their ethical values and standards.
The social work profession is rooted in a series of core values that create a consummate lens for AOD and other behavioral health topics (NASW, 2018). They include:
- Service
- Social Justice
- Dignity and Worth of the Person
- Importance of Human Relationships
- Integrity
- Competence
