Eva Nyerges: Bridging the Gap: How Social Workers Can Support the Needs of Refugees in their Communities
Dr. Susan Rhema: Responding to the Impact of Forced Migration: Motivational Interviewing with Survivors of Trauma
Dr. Lesley Harris: Working in Partnership with Interpreters: Maximizing Connection and Improving Client Outcomes
This workshop is designed for social workers and will prepare practitioners to better support clients who have undergone displacement or forced migration. Content is appropriate for mental health professionals including, but not limited to, MFTs, Social Workers, and psychologists, and includes the professional application of theories and techniques in the delivery of services to individuals, couples, families, and beyond.
We will cover three critical interventions that social workers need when working with immigrants, refugees, and displaced populations:
a) integrating existing resources from refugee-serving organizations into one’s practice,
b) using motivational interviewing with survivors of trauma, and
c) working in partnership with interpreters to maximizing connection.
All three presentations are designed to teach skills that will improve client outcomes, and translate across multiple agency settings, including health care, the school system, and community mental health.
