Plugging In to the Unplugged: The Role of Animals and Nature for Social Work Practitioners and Clients (Clinical or Generalist CEUs)

Presenter: Tanya Bailey, MSW, LICSW, Ph.D Candidate

Animals and nature are gaining recognition in the mental health field because these modalities use hands-on and experiential activities to teach concepts such as empowerment, cooperation, communication, and diversity, and encourage individual growth and development. Come and learn more about how animals and nature can enhance your work.

 

 

Elder Justice and the State of the Field: Opportunities for Prevention and Response (Clinical or Generalist CEUs)

Presenter: Marit Anne Peterson, JD

This session will explore elder justice themes: abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. We’ll discuss screening tools, risk factors such as housing insecurity, and protective tools built into our decision-making infrastructure. Come learn about developments in the elder justice field, and share your perspective on effective early intervention and prevention.

 

 

What’s Your Ethical Perspective? (Clinical or Ethics CEUs)

Presenter: Frances (Fran) E. Lyon-Dugin, Ph.D

Ever wonder why you and your peers or clients see an ethical situation in a completely different way? Join us as we raise the awareness of our own ethical perspectives and how they differ from those of others. Work with real examples to resolve ethical dilemmas that arise in your practice. Leaders and organizations will gain a greater understanding of others’ viewpoints and values.

Educative Supervision: How to Support Staff Learning (Supervision or Generalist CEUs)

Presenter: John Lukach, LGSW

As a supervisor, you have advanced-level practice knowledge. It is important for you to be able to disseminate this knowledge in a way that is effective. In this workshop, you will gain an understanding of adult learning principles and learn best practices for training delivery to maximize the comprehension and retention of information. 

 

 

Purple State Social Work: Best Practices for Sustainable Advocacy and Engagement in Turbulent Political Times (Clinical or Generalist CEUs)

Presenter: Katharine Hill, MPP, MSW, Ph.D

How can we, as social workers support our clients and ourselves in healthy, ethically rooted political engagement in our current stressful political environment? This workshop will use an empowerment and engagement framework to assist social workers in finding a path to healthy political engagement for themselves, their clients, and their organizations.

 

 

Integrating the “Work of Aging” into Your Life and Practice (Clinical or Generalist CEUs) Presenter: Sarah Brown, RN, LNHA, BS

How intentionally do we account for the realities that come with aging – for ourselves and those we serve? “Work of Aging” (WOA) describes conversations or actions that support one in reaching wisdom in matters of living and dying, beginning when people start to confront their own mortality. This experiential session will cover WOA’s seven domains, and help us integrate them purposefully in our practice and our own lives.
