Self-Care for Child Welfare Workers
3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The Wayne State University School of Social Work Office of Continuing Education invites child welfare workers, family preservation workers, foster care workers and adoption services to attend one of our specialized child welfare trainings. We are excited to host CEO and Founder of Revived Mind Counseling and Wayne State University Social Work Adjunct Professor, Jeffrey Williams, LMSW, LCSW, MSW for this training titled "Self-Care for Child Welfare Workers".
Social workers in welfare systems are concerned with the well-being and maltreatment of others and have the responsibility to protect their clients from abuse, neglect, and many other forms of maltreatment. Due to job demands, workers can be at risk of developing professional compassion fatigue and experiencing low job satisfaction. This course will help workers learn self-care strategies to prevent burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma.
CONTINUING EDUCATION: Attendees can obtain 1 social work CECH upon completion of the training, payment receipt and passing of the post-training quiz. A CECH certificate will be emailed within 7 - 10 business days after the event.
COST: Free to all MDHHS workers and MDHHS contracted private agencies; $5 students; $15 all others
All attendees must RSVP for this training. Attendees will receive the Zoom link via email upon completion of the RSVP.
