WEBINAR DETAILS

It may be tempting to think that if a person has more experience, they must be providing a higher level of care. But the truth is, experience alone does not necessarily make for exceptional social work practice. What does it look like? What’s wrong with just meeting the minimum standard? What more could be done? What if you already feel overworked!? This webinar will define and explore the concept of exceptionalism in social work practice and look at ways to offer higher levels of care without necessarily putting in more time.
