This webinar will educate social workers about how to identify high risk domestic violence cases and will provide an overview of approaches to domestic violence homicide prevention.

Courses offered include Women as Administrators/Managers; Preventing Alcohol-Exposed Pregnancies; Vicarious Traumatization and Self-Care, and more.

This special issue of Social Work journal will mainstream gender by placing it at the center of the conversation about the Grand Challenges for Social Work to advance our understanding of the ways that gender affects social policy, status, identity, rights, and responsibilities. Submissions should address one (or more) of the grand challenges with the intent of describing the unique difficulties that women, particularly those with multiple marginalized identities, face and the unique strengths they bring to these challenges; addressing the unique prevention, intervention, or policy needs of women; and advancing feminist, empowerment-based social work practice. Submission deadline: July 15, 2019
