Sexual Health Assessment and Treatment in Clinical Practice
May 7, 2021 - 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.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

Community Conversation - Dean Search
May 19, 2021 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
We invite you to a community conversation about our search for the new SSW Dean. This will be a time to share where you think the school should be headed and what you think we should be looking for in a Dean to lead us there. This is a time for conversation - ask questions, raise ideas, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
About the format. 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.
Zoom link will be sent out the morning of the event.

Centennial Lecture Series: Sharon Parrott - Pandemic, Relief, and Building toward an Equitable Future
May 19, 2021 - 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Join us for our Centennial Lecture Series featuring Michigan Social Work Alumna, Sharon Parrott, MSW '92.
Pandemic, Relief, and Building toward an Equitable Future: The health and economic crisis shined a light on and exacerbated longstanding problems that were in plain sight for those willing to see them long before COVID-19. The crisis made clear the weaknesses in our economic and health security programs that are supposed to protect people when hard times hit while also showing in the starkest terms the stark inequities across lines of race, ethnicity, gender, and immigration that long pre-dated the pandemic. Parrott will talk about the impacts of the health and economic crisis across different groups, both the strengths and weaknesses of our public response to the crisis, the opportunity for long-term, systemic policy changes that could broaden opportunity, reduce poverty and inequality, narrow disparities, and move us toward universal health coverage, and the challenges to achieving these policy goals. Parrott will also reflect on the “long arc” of policy change and the forces that can create and stymie change.
