The Wayne State University School of Social Work Office of Continuing Education invites child welfare workers, family preservation workers, foster care workers and adoption services to attend one of our specialized child welfare trainings. We are excited to host Marla M. Garmo, LMSW and Karie Ward, MSW for this training titled "Navigating Higher Education Resources for Youth from Foster Care".
Presenters will share information and best practices on accessing higher education resources dedicated to youth that have experienced foster care. This training will cover the historical issues that have led to lower graduation rates, the supports, and scholarships available to students in Michigan and how to access those services. This training will utilize large group discussion and visual displays.
CONTINUING EDUCATION: Attendees can obtain 3 social work CECH upon completion of the training, payment receipt and passing of the post-training quiz. A CECH certificate will be emailed within 7 - 10 business days after the event.
COST: Free to all MDHHS and private agency child welfare workers; $15 students; $45 all others
All attendees must RSVP for this training. Attendees will receive the Zoom link via email upon completion of the RSVP.
