The Wayne State University School of Social Work invites you to join us for "Young People and Social Media".

Social media plays a powerful role in shaping how young people build relationships, communicate, and express themselves. For adults working with youth, understanding these digital dynamics is key to providing effective support and guidance. This workshop equips educators, youth workers, and advocates with tools to recognize how social media trends intersect with teen dating violence.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: Three (3) Social Work CE's are available to attendees for free. Pre-registration for CE's is required via the RSVP form. All attendees seeking CE's must sign-in via the link posted to the chat and stay for the full event duration. Attendees will be able to download their certificate upon completion of the event quiz and evaluation. Learn about more upcoming WSU Social Work CE Events and Online Courses.

SPONSOR: This training is supported by the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Grant (BHWET), which works to increase the comprehensiveness of patient care, especially in medically underserved communities and the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training - Children, Adolescents, and Young Adult (BHWET-CAY) Program for Professionals, training MSW and PMHNP students to increase the supply and distribution of behavioral health providers in rural and underserved communities to address the behavioral health needs of children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 16-25). BHWET and BHWET-CAY are funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
