NOON HOUR WEBINAR: Emerging from the Pandemic: A Public Health Crisis into a Public Mental Health Crisis: Telehealth and its implications on Social Workers and Best Practice

Presented by Roberta Bronecki, MSW, LCSW, Kristen Golat, MSW, LCSW, Barbara Perkins, MSW, LCSW

NASWWI Chapter 0 1806 Article rating: 3.0

Social workers in all walks of practice are emerging from this pandemic in a different world. Our practices have changed, and not by a thoughtful plan or by choice, but rather, we were thrown into a world of technology that many of us were unfamiliar with and equally uncomfortable executing. As we emerge, we are now mindfully thinking about telehealth and its practical implications in clinical social work. In this session we will explore the question of best practice in telehealth services through the domains of care. What clients are best suited for telehealth services? How do we assess for appropriateness for telehealth services? What are the risks and legal implications of the use of telehealth services? And lastly, how do we, as social workers, embrace and execute services thoughtfully in this new world?

NOON HOUR WEBINAR: Building Resiliency with Intimate Partner Abuse Survivors

Presented by Jennifer Parker, MSSW, LCSW, ACSW

NASWWI Chapter 0 1696 Article rating: 5.0

This workshop begins with a survey of intimate partner abuse survivors and what they found helpful in therapy. With that foundation, Jennifer explores three issues they often present: mistrusting self & unconditionally trusting partner, confusion between selfishness and self-interest, and beliefs that interfere with assertiveness. Coercive control injures any strengths they have in these areas, and if the issues predate the relationship, they represent vulnerabilities that are exploited. Along with case examples, Jennifer will present therapeutic strategies that enhance survivors’ resiliency and empower them in dealing with their issues. There will be time for discussion, which can include her handout “Intimate Partner Abuse Cases” if desired. Another handout is included that professionals may use with clients. Jennifer will provide a book link for anyone interested in purchasing a copy of her book Coercive Relationships: Find the Answers You Seek

Objectives:

  • Name what survivors find helpful in therapy
  • Identify three issues that coercive control exploits or creates in victims  
  • Learn about effective strategies that enhance survivor resilience and empower them to make decisions.
