About This NYSED Social Work Board Approved Course (4-CEUs)

This Two-Day 4-hour In-Service Workshop is held over Two-Sessions. Certificate of completion is awarded upon completing both sessions.

Social Construction Theory provides a framework for understanding individuals, groups, families, communities and organizations. In this module, emphasis is placed on theories of empowerment and the role of the social work advocate. Specific attention is drawn to how social work professionals can leverage/effect change within the context of groups, families, organizations and communities. The impact of inequality on differences in gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, and implications for the professional social work advocate to ameliorate these inequities will be addressed. Practitioners will consider best advocacy strategies and practice methods for meeting clients’ diverse needs.
