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

SESSION 1: 9:00 am-10:30am CST | 1.5 CEUs TBA

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.
