How To Be an Organizational Leader in Any Role
Whether you sit on a board of directors or work exclusively with individual clients, you create culture, policy, and impact through your work every day. Regardless of role, all social impact professionals are leaders. Yet many of us never receive any formal leadership training, and those who do often receive little guidance for translating business-oriented leadership approaches to the unique contexts of social impact work. Further, some of the most familiar concepts from leadership practice are not inclusive of all identities.
In this continuing education course, you will be asked to think critically about commonly accepted leadership “norms.” This course will also help you recognize cultural contexts that impact how a social impact organization sets priorities, manages resources, and shows up on behalf of its communities. Finally, recognizing that you, as a leader, have influence even without power, this course will challenge you to articulate your own framework for making decisions that further the goal of social justice.Instructors

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Psychosis
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental illness affecting roughly 26 million people, equating to 1% of the global population. Psychosis is experienced within schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders in addition to several other disorders, often framed as being 'psychotic features.' Since the majority of mental health services in the US are delivered by social workers, it is important for clinicians to be prepared for work with clients including the need for interventions tailored to the experience of psychosis. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis is a cognitive and behavioral approach tailored for individuals experiencing psychosis and is an effective and valuable evidence-based intervention to use in practice.
This webinar will discuss an overview of psychosis and its prevalence, a brief overview of CBT theory and basics, a central focus on intervention using CBT for psychosis, and the use of 2 clinical cases.

Foundations of Sports Social Work
This course will serve as an introduction to the foundations of sport social work. It will explore how social work and sport have worked in parallel to combat racism, oppression, inequality, and discrimination which has been an integral part of our society's history and development. The course will examine the intersection of the history of social work and the professionalization of athletics. Foundational knowledge of understanding sport social work practice will include identifying the role of sport social workers, defining sport social work practice, and looking at Social Work's Values and Ethics and CSWE competencies through a sport social work lens. With the role of social workers being to serve and advocate for vulnerable populations, athletes will be identified and defined as a vulnerable population and key human development theories will be applied to sport social work. Finally, evidence-based practices will be discussed throughout the course, but specifically, research trends, the current state and future directions of sport social work will be analyzed.
