Workshop Summary:
In this training you will learn about the challenges, techniques and different philosophical approaches to working with today's ever evolving family structures. Now more than ever, clinical social workers will engage with families that break the mold, and it is imperative to be aware of the systemic challenges and stigma that these families face. We will uncover different perspectives, strategies and techniques, as well as how to adapt these interventions to a variety of nontraditional family structures. We will discuss the clinician's use of self, and how we might best promote intimacy and closeness in the extraordinary families we encounter.
