Hustle Hard: Ethical considerations for social workers with multiple jobs

Monday August 4, 2025 from 10am - 12:30pm EST

2 ethics continuing education credits

Facilitator: Alondra Jones, LICSW, LCSW-C, CCM

The culture of "hustling hard" - holding and working more than one job at a time - is often a topic of discussion among social workers as they develop and navigate their careers, financial responsibilities and societal pressures to “hustle hard”. This interactive live webinar prioritizes intentionally exploring the ethical considerations of this experience and the impacts it has on social workers, their clients, and the field of social work overall.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and discuss the ethical considerations of social workers ‘hustling hard’ (having more than one job), and what those ethical considerations can mean for social workers, clients, and the social work field in general.
2. Examine the NASW Code of Ethics and use it as a framework, and explore and discuss ‘hustling hard’ in this context.
3. Analyze relevant research about Multiple Job Holders (MJH) to help us inform our discussion of ‘hustling hard’ and how it may impact social workers.
4. Discuss and describe how the hustle hard culture impacts social workers– the good, the bad and the ugly!
5. Identify appropriate actions for immediate and future implementation.

Why Attend?

We hope to encourage social work professionals to reflect and deepen their understanding of themsevles and the field of social work as changemakers and as human beings.
