Navigating Growth Using Enhanced Genograms in Social Work Practice
September 15, 2023 - 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET
This workshop will provide comprehensive content and strategies about creating and using enhanced genograms in social work practice. It is a tool social workers can use to understand client and community stories in a way that identifies past traumas and potential sources for healing and strength. In addition, this workshop will model how to implement an enhanced genogram in real time, as well as strategies for helping clients and communities to understand their own core story. This might include tips for daily practice during times of stress.
This workshop has been developed to train participants in skills that can be used in multiple settings, including interpersonal practice as well as working with organizations and communities.

Global Approaches to Child Maltreatment Prevention
September 22, 2023 - 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM ET
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.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

Sexual Health Assessment and Treatment in Clinical Practice
September 22, 2023 - 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET
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.
