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 Project Director of the Bexar County Continuum of Care, Airika Crawford, MSW, for this training titled, “Championing College Success for System-Involved Youth: An Interactive Training and Toolkit for Child-Welfare Practitioners.”

This course examines the most critical, evidence-based practices for guiding foster, kinship, and adopted youth into and through higher education. Participants will explore racialized barriers, trauma-informed advocacy tactics, and resource access and exposure tools to use with their youth and young adults who are system-involved. This training will be thorough yet fast-paced and interactive for all audiences and adult learning styles.

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 available for download upon completion of the aforementioned items.

COST: Free to all MDHHS workers and MDHHS contracted private agencies; $15 all others.

All attendees must RSVP for this training. Attendees will receive the Zoom link via email upon completion of the RSVP.
