  • Policy: how it impacts practice, policy development, engaging with policy as a direct practitioner, skills development, advocacy skills
  • Leadership: increasing skills, social work for managers
  • Supervision: not an introductory class: beyond the basics, self-care, consultation, more skills
  • Ethics: ethical dilemmas, how social work interacts with daily work
  • Diversity: equity in social work, who is impacted by our work, how do we work with people different than ourselves, cultural humility, specific cultural groups

Continuing Education Series Workshops

The workshops are held virtually.  These virtual workshops are 2.0 to 6.0 hours of credit for the attendees and can be done from the comfort of your office or home using a webinar forum.  As this is another form of a live workshop, you may utilize any method of presentation just as you would if you were standing in a meeting room. The chapter will pay a fee or you may donate your time. We will work with you to select a convenient date. 

The yearly calendar is divided in two sections.
