This presentation will focus on a model for anti-racist transformation in public health institutions. It will present the rationale and approach of the Racial Justice Impact Assessment Tool that was co-created as part of the ARCC Towards Justice Project, a collaboration between researchers at the University of Michigan, the Washtenaw County Health Department, and Washtenaw County community members. The presentation will describe the process of co-creating the Racial Justice Impact Assessment and the results of piloting it at the health department. More broadly, the presentation will highlight ways that public health institutions can move towards anti-racist policies and practices.

We invite you to a community conversation around Grief and Pet Loss.

For the lives that are carving rooms in our hearts, we will explore what human-animal relationships each person holds towards species outside of their own, the significance of this form of love, and how it feels to process their inevitable demise. Various forms of grief will be touched upon. Keep in mind, that this will not be a support group, so it is not required to have endured a direct loss in order to attend.

April 17, 2025 (all day)

The employment-based field placements (EBPs) recording aims to guide students through the intricacies of applying for a field placement at their current place of employment. We provide an introduction to the roles of the Office of Field Education, field instructors, and task supervisors, emphasizing the teamwork involved in supporting students throughout their field experience.

Key highlights include an overview of the EBP application process, eligibility criteria, and the importance of aligning field tasks with the nine core social work competencies as required by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The informational session stresses that field placements are educational experiences distinct from regular job duties and require additional planning and consideration, particularly in separating employment tasks from learning objectives. Students are encouraged to assess their current workplace dynamics before applying and to identify suitable MSW field instructors with at least two years of postgraduate experience. The session covers potential implications of changes in employment status and offers guidance on negotiating potential challenges associated with integrating field education with workplace responsibilities. Detailed application steps are reviewed, from initial communication with our office to securing approvals and completing legal affiliations (when necessary) with the university.

By the end of the session, students are equipped with the knowledge to decide whether an EBP is the right path for their educational and professional development.

Undoing Racism is a community collective of students, staff and faculty in the School of Social Work dedicated to fighting white supremacy at individual, school and structural levels. This workgroup was established in 2019 after the community took part in the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond Undoing Racism workshops and builds on their anti-racist community organizing model. No matter what role you play here at SSW, you are always welcome and encouraged to come to Undoing Racism meetings.
