About the Workshop
This workshop provides participants with a conceptual frame and clinical tools for effective work with families. Participants will learn how to conceptualize the family as a system, paying close attention to relational dynamics and patterns of interaction. This will help social workers reframe and broaden their understanding of the problems many families experience. Under the guidance of Walter Vega, LCSW, an expert on families and a 2004 alumnus of our School, Participants will learn the effective interviewing skills necessary for working with families as well as techniques for addressing issues including parent-child conflict, school problems, and communication impasses. The training will place an emphasis on how social locators such as race, gender identity, immigration status, and culture exert an influence on family relationships and the worker-client relationship.
