Over 85% of clinical mental health services are delivered by licensed social workers. This work occurs in a variety of settings including private practice. Building a business that maintains the social work ethical code of delivering services in a manner accessible to all populations is key to socially-just work in private practice. This course will address developing a budget that allows for ethical, socially-just mental health service and ensuring a reliable income as a clinician in private practice. This course will explore who is included and excluded when we select to panel with specific insurance plans. An overview of the process of insurance paneling and information required to begin the process will be presented.

Part 1: This program area will welcome participants to the MMR CE program and introduce mixed methods research to them. Research ethics and values are important for the responsible conduct of research and so in the components of this program area, participants will learn about the nature of research ethics as it pertains to macro social work and other applied professions. We will begin with a history of research ethics with topics ranging from the Nuremberg Code and the Belmont Report, to the U.S. Public Health Service syphilis study carried out in Tuskegee, Alabama. Next, we will briefly cover theoretical frameworks and the advantages of using theory for mixed methods research and practice in social work. Participants will be challenged to view the research process through a culturally sensitive lens. Finally, participants will have an opportunity to think about the implications for how the research we conduct with underserved and underrepresented groups influences what we learn from these groups...

This conversation will give students an opportunity to share and discuss what they believe would contribute to a more positive field experience with field faculty and peers. This is a time for conversation - ask questions, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

A few students and faculty have decided to try something different - smaller community conversations. Our hope is that this can take topics that lend themselves better to verbal dialogue off of email and into a face-to-face (or screen-to-screen!) environment. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Suicide is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States and worldwide. Nearly 50% of individuals who end life by suicide see a primary care provider within a month of death, yet suicide risk assessment and treatment is consistently difficult in practice. With the majority of mental health services in the US being delivered by social workers, it is imperative that risk assessment and safety planning knowledge and skills are in place for our work with clients with the ultimate goal being to prevent premature suicidal death.

This webinar will discuss and present on suicide as public health issue in the US, risk and protective factors, warning signs, barriers to help-seeking, risk assessment process and risk formulation, safety planning, and cultural humility in risk assessment with use of a clinical case. This workshop is also focused on the adult population.

Note: This training is available for free to MDHHS-affiliated child welfare workers.

What do interactions between babies and their caregivers "tell us" about the nature of their relationship? Are there ways of interacting that can help us understand when the relationship is strong, at risk or worrisome? This workshop is designed to help child welfare professionals attend to the more subtle aspects of parent-young child relationships as a way to be more helpful to strengthening or supporting the parent-infant/young child relationship.
