This NASW Student Series webinar will focus on how important it is for new (and seasoned) social workers not to lose their mission and values – their “social workiness.” You were hired into your position for a reason, whether your boss knows that reason or not. We will discuss how you can advocate for your clients, yourself, and your profession.

1 - 2 pm ET

Presenter: Halcyon Francis, DSW, LCSW-C

CEs: 1 Social Work contact hour

Mental health treatment within the Black community is becoming much more acceptable but there are still barriers to accessing care. Whether in outpatient community mental health centers, hospitals, school systems or in private practice, the challenges are usually consistent across treatment settings. This course will attempt to look at two sides of this issue: from a Black social worker’s perspective and from the perspective of clients seeking such therapists.
