Telehealth for Social Workers: New Challenges and Approaches to Working with Clients

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted where we work and how we conduct our social work practice. "Starting where the client is" takes on new meaning as engaging with clients virtually takes on new challenges. This workshop examines the changes involved with utilizing telehealth and explores new approaches/techniques for engaging with your clients. We will utilize lecture, case scenarios, and group discussion of the pros and cons of using telehealth, how to recognize and counter "Zoom fatigue" in social work practice, and strategies for adapting to this "new normal" format for social work and clinical interactions.

SESSION 1: 9:00 am-10:30am CST | 1.5 CEUs TBA
Jason Gerig, LCSW Anna Goldberger, LCSW

Self-Care: Beyond Mindfulness

This workshop aims to create a sustainable and consistent self-care practice for social workers working in all sectors of the field. Oftentimes social workers feel dejected when hearing the term “self-care” because it does not consider that some social workers are working in less than desirable conditions and that employers are not taking responsibility for overworking their employees at a less than desirable wage. This workshop will provide a multifaceted framework for utilizing self-care habits no matter what area or chapter of our careers we are in. This workshop will look at activities that can be done at home during free time. It will also focus on activities that can help social workers go into difficult situations/conversations and utilize what they have at their disposal to care for themselves when coming out of those situations.

SESSION 2: 10:45am–12:15pm | 1.5 CEUs TBA
Tara Genovese, LCSW
