Hide Description

Social Workers have always helped the most vulnerable people in society.  The current global pandemic brings a period of unprecedented change and stress, which means their needs have increased significantly while their supports may have diminished.  This rapid rate of change and disruption, both personally and professionally, causes psychological stress. This webinar will provide Social Workers with personal and professional strategies to reduce and mitigate the impact of this stress.

The webinar will cover some of the following:

  • Learn individual and relational strategies for psychological health and wellness while self-isolating
  • Review a framework for practicing trauma-informed social work from a distance and/or during large scale societal change
  • Identify strategies to practice social work in a new format (working from home, working via phone/video)
