Alternatives to Policing: Unarmed Crisis Response and the Role of Social Workers
September 22, 2022 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Police violence against Black bodies rightfully has forced society to look more closely at our policing and public safety practices. The #BlackLivesMatter movement has highlighted the racist origins of policing in this country, and how excessive use of force often targets Black people with deadly results. Disproportionately, police are forced to respond to social, economic, mental/physical health emergencies. Today, community leaders and elected officials are working together to “reimagine our public safety,” by creating, for example, “unarmed crisis response teams” who work alongside police departments. What is the role of social workers in this “reimagined” public safety system? Does our involvement violate any of the professional standards in our NASW Code of Ethics? Join us to hear from an array of panelists working on this issue in communities, including Assistant Professor at UM Social Work, Daicia Price; Chair of the Ann Arbor Independent Community Police Oversight Commission (ICPOC), Dr. Lisa Jackson, Senior Pastor of Vineyard Church Ann Arbor, and member of the Coalition for Re-envisioning our Safety (CORS), Donnell Wyche.

Caregiver Kinks: Everything You Need to Know About Imaginative Power Exchange
September 23, 2022 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
BDSM and kink have gone mainstream in a big way. Thanks to the popularity of several books and movies, it seems like almost everyone is familiar with Dominant/submissive relationships now! And while there are many people living out their Red Room of Pain fantasies these days, that's far from the only form of consensual power exchange that D/s can take. In this workshop, we'll explore the lesser known, and lesser understood, power exchange dynamic known as Caregiver Kink. This imaginative form of Dominance and submission weaves role play into the BDSM relationship- primarily by assuming personas that are either much younger than the individuals biological age (Little play) or by role playing as a non-human persona entirely (pet play). ...

Social Work and the Global Refugee Crisis
September 30, 2022 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
The scale of the global refugee crisis is staggering. More than 82 million people worldwide have been displaced from their homes. With the increase in refugees from war-torn countries like Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Syria resettling into the United States, Canada, Australia, and European countries, social workers must be equipped to address the unique challenges facing refugees in practice and policy contexts.
This interactive webinar, informative in nature, will inform participants on the scope of the global refugee crisis, exploring the current policies and laws that directly impact refugees from war-torn countries. Moreover, this workshop will also explore the role of social workers to address the specific needs of refugees, drawing on current research to support refugee children, youth, and their families in the U.S. and abroad.
