Social Work is a decidedly complex field that is all at once populated by mission-driven professionals that derive insurmountable energy and passion from front line work. Moreover, the path to a social work leadership role is hardly a direct line. Clinical talent and skillsets do not always transfer to one’s leadership role. Thus, emerging and even tenured social work supervisors and leaders must build new muscles in order to effectively lead teams while also promoting high-quality care. This training is designed to provide social work supervisors and leaders with impactful content, strategic frameworks, and associated leadership skills that also stay true to social work leadership core values.
