The field of social work require education and professional competencies for social workers to be equipped to promote and advocate for equity and justice in their practice. Story-telling is an uniquely powerful way to engage in advocacy. As social workers, our professional experience at any level (micro, mezzo, and macro) can help guide decision-makers (within institutions, organizations, and in policy-making) to make informed decisions based on best practices and social work values and ethics. Join us for an interactive workshop to learn more about what makes storytelling an effective method for advocacy and tips for telling your own story.

Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
