The sequence, made possible by a Child Welfare Training project funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will prepare students for careers in child welfare practice. Social Workers believe in the dignity and worth of all people and that people have the capacity to grow and change. We would be happy to discuss this compelling profession with you.
