Sport Social Work: Beyond the Playing Field

Sport Social Work is becoming a powerful force in the field of sport and recreation. Social workers are leaders in infusing teams, parents, programs, and student athletes with empowerment, self development, and inclusion.

In this workshop, we will explore how social work values, theories, and interventions are applied on a micro and macro level to enhance sport and recreation services across the lifespan.

Content will include social work theory, interventions from behavioral psychology, and human development. Workshop participants will have the opportunity for small and large group discussions.
