JV Caprez Social Work Field Day
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to ensure all of our attendees can attend in a safe environment. So therefore, for the 2021 JV Caprez Social Work Field Day, both sessions will be held virtually via Zoom.
Friday, April 2, 2021
9:00am-12:00pm
Spirituality in Social Work Practice
Speakers: Patricia Levy, Ph.D., ACSW; Jung Hee Lee, Ph.D., MSW; Vinod Srivastava, Ph.D., LCSW
3 Diagnostic & Treatment CEUs available
Spirituality is a significant part of social work practice. People’s internal belief systems and subjective values impact their behavior and interactions with others and society. This professional training will educate social work practitioners and students to gain knowledge and skills on identifying sources of meaningful self-empowerment to develop strengths-based strategies in coping with adverse life situations. The presentation will include three aspects of spiritually sensitive social work practice: the role of spirituality in family caregiving of older adults with frailty, understanding the linkage between trauma and spiritual health in children and family, and medical social work modes of spiritual intervention with the chronically ill. At the conclusion of the training, there will be a panel discussion and an opportunity to answer questions.
