We will begin this week with a broad overview of child welfare policy in the state of Kansas, as well as federal law. Upon our return from Thanksgiving break, Debbie Hatfield, child protective services supervisor, SRS, will give the class a presentation on the actual practice of social work in public child welfare. Ms. Hatfield will address these questions. On Thursday, Steve Kapp, Ph.D., will discuss issues in the lives of adolescent offenders, and services provided to them once they have been identified. We will examine the types of conflicts that social workers resolve, and look at how mediation interfaces with the law.
Substance abuse is one of THE most important areas of social work practice.
Find out why from Ray. We will also do final course evaluations on Tue. This is a non-negotiable due date. Dec. 12 Accountability Exercise due. I understand that I may be contacted for verbal verification as well by the course instructor, Alice Lieberman.
