1 CEU - may be counted as Supervision
Does your work feel like a never ending cycle of rescuing one person, one family at a time? That is because most of our time, energy and investment centers on trying to "fix" the problem after the fact. This presentation centers on "The River Story", exploring downstream, midstream and upstream approaches to promoting community health and wellbeing. Gain the insights you need to help move your organization and community to "Going Upstream".
Presenter:
Dr. Nancy Fitzsimons is a Professor of Social Work at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
