Reaching under-served populations is a core value of social work. Marketing, networking, sharing professional identity and creating a social media presence are integral elements of a private practice that reaches a diverse client base. Understanding the mental health needs of your community and approaching the community in a safe, accessible and approachable manner is key to building a socially-just private practice. This webinar will explore different avenues of creating accessible marketing to reach clients and strategies for creating a clinical network to expand outreach and referrals.

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.

We Invite You to a Community Conversation About Summer Semester

This conversation will give students a chance to check-in about how summer semester is going.

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.)

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.
