Articulating the Role of the Social Worker

Presenter: Laurie Dahley, Ph.D., MSW, LISW

1 CEU

What is a social worker’s role and why at this point in the history of our profession are we still struggling to educate professionals and the public alike as to what it is we do? This session will explore some of the difficulties this creates and our role as professionals in the process. Social workers in all settings but those engaged in host settings or supervised by non-professionals may find it most useful.
