Social Work and Media: Crafting Stories for Impact (Webinar)

In today's social and historical context, media and social media are powerful tools that are often disregarded by those who work towards social justice due to the negativity that seems to surround them. However, social workers need to master how to use the media and social media in order to counteract negativity and stereotypes, as well as create positive narratives to portray the people that we represent and advocate for.

This workshop will outline best practices in different media forms. It will also address how to craft stories and narratives that can counteract stereotypes and more accurately reflect the voices and lives of the clients and individuals a social worker may be representing in their media interactions. Participants will discuss the intersectionality of social justice and social media and how to use our voices ethically without getting lost in the negativity that media generally represents.
