Youth have the ability to lead and galvanize social and political movements for change. Both through their understanding of the importance of social media and use of technology, to their involvement in communities, and power to connect and drive their peers, youth are especially positioned to be great drivers of social change. Join us for a special joint discussion with CASC featuring local youth leaders and change-makers, as they discuss the impact of their work and the movements they are leading. CASC alumni working in youth organizing will be featured along with other panelists TBA.

Attending this session counts for field credit. Please document your attendance and contact your field faculty supervisor for information.

This course focuses on an issue that many social workers confront in their practice with children and families - the use of discipline and physical punishment in childrearing. This course examines research on the effectiveness of a wide range of parental disciplinary approaches. This course introduces a series of evidence-based parenting interventions, and discusses how these interventions approach parents' beliefs and behaviors related to child discipline. We will discuss how cultural norms and beliefs may influence parents' discipline choices, and how social workers can engage in productive dialogue with parents to help parents achieve their parenting aims. Content of this course is based on the book published by the instructor titled "Ending the physical punishment of children: A guide for clinicians and practitioners."

Please note that although there are two parts to this course you do not have to attend both parts. The content of each webinar can stand alone.

Evidence suggests that women face unique leadership challenges. Marginalization based on gender, family and work priorities, and societal expectations create a system that hinders the maximization of leadership potential. In addition, women bring diverse capabilities and hold unique characteristics in the work world today. Community benefit organizations must leverage this diversity of leadership to improve decision making, tap into diverse points of view, and inspire social change.

This course will examine the social, structural and personal dynamics that differentially impact women and men as leaders. It will prepare all students to identify and harness the specific needs and capabilities of women. It will provide the knowledge and skills to succeed and contribute added value in their roles as leaders at any level.
