Global Approaches to Child Maltreatment Prevention
September 22, 2023 - 9:00am to 10:00am
The webinar covers what constitutes informal social control of child maltreatment (ISC_CM) and what we know about it cross-culturally. Based on research in Korea, China, Russia, Spain, Nepal, Vietnam, Ghana, and Tunisia the course introduces the conditions under which ISC_CM is associated with better outcomes for children and the conditions under which it is not. A particular focus is given to conditions in which ISC_CM is normative in Ghana and how that fact changes the potential for child protection. The course suggests an alternative to the current model, in which protection cases are triaged differently, with "minor" cases of maltreatment reverted to designated accountable community leaders who coordinate and supervise protection of the child with the tools of informal social control and informal social support. The alternate approach would require extensive community education and relationship building with communities and between communities and the child protection system.

Sexual Health Assessment and Treatment in Clinical Practice
September 22, 2023 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm
The objective of this training is to help mental health professionals develop confidence and a skill set for discussing sexual identity, health/wellness, and intimacy with their clients. Fundamentals of sex therapy from a biopsychosocial approach will be covered to ensure that participants feel well-equipped to incorporate sexual functioning into their core approach to assessment and treatment. The learner will understand the ramifications of relegating this topic to a "specialized" treatment approach and feel skilled and capable in addressing sex therapy topics as a foundational approach to assessment and treatment.

What do social workers bring to student affairs roles?
September 29, 2023 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Social workers are increasingly finding their way to student affairs roles. However, higher education as a practice area for social workers is often opaque to both students and professionals. This session will explore various opportunities that exist for social workers in higher education settings, how social workers apply the profession’s values, theories and methods to advance student development and success, and how we can further support social work professionals and students in developing their professional identity in this practice area. This course is a collaboration between the University of Michigan School of Social Work Office of Field Education and the Association of Social Workers in Higher Education (ASWHE).
