Overview

The role of case workers and social workers is becoming increasingly challenging. In addition to heavy workloads, time pressure, ambiguity, lack of support, and vicarious trauma; you also have to navigate the increasing use of technology, diverse language needs, and budget constraints.

In these challenging times with competing priorities; person-centred and strengths-based case management provides a solution to better collaborate with other agencies, engage with individuals and families and provide culturally-informed and inclusive services.

This two-day practical and interactive training workshop provides an overview of a person-centred and strengths-based approach to case management. It will provide the opportunity to develop core skills and strategies for working in a culturally informed, and inclusive way with individuals and families.

The training workshop uses a variety of interactive and experiential activities to support group members to apply concepts to their work, reflect on their practice, and share skills and strategies, and to network. Each participant will be provided with a workbook with information covered in the workshop, activities, case management tools, and useful resources.
