WEBINAR: How COVID Changed How We Address Homelessness

January 29th, 2024, Noon - 1 PM CST

NASWWI Chapter 0 1259 Article rating: 5.0

Presented by Emily Kenney, LCSW

In 2020, the world was sent into an unprecedented crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the recognition of the economic downturn and personal crisis that many people were experiencing, the federal government invested in basic needs support. Because of the investment in rental assistance and other housing dollars, local communities were able to create different solutions to homelessness. This session will cover innovative strategies used around the state with COVID housing dollars, the impact of those funds, and what’s next for communities now that this additional funding has ended

3 Objectives:

  1. To understand the homeless service delivery system in the United States.
  2. To discuss implications of policy decisions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
  3. To learn some basic advocacy points for addressing homelessness as social workers.

We know that implicit bias impacts a person’s judgement and decision-making in multiple arenas and mandatory reporting is no exception. Dane County Child Protective Services has taken a deep dive into the history of mandatory reporting and the laws that govern this requirement in Wisconsin. We invite you to learn more about our journey and the steps we have taken to challenge mandated reporters to rethink their motivation around calling Child Protective Services.

Workshop summary: The effects of technology on social work practice since the onset of the pandemic have been enormous. Out of necessity, many providers rushed to adopt technology-assisted practices in an effort to continue to provide care to those in need. What have we learned from these practice changes? Are the 2018 changes to the Social Work Code of Ethics adequate to address modern practice challenges? This workshop will explore these critical questions and will also examine some of the specific boundary-related issues that arise in technology-assisted practice. In addition, as the evidence mounts regarding the harmful effects of technology on mental health, relationships, and community wellbeing, we will ask critical questions regarding the role of our profession in addressing these concerns.
