Webinar Series for County DSS Directors
The Family and Children’s Resource Program (FCRP) housed within the Jordan Institute for
Families at UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Social Work will produce a 2-part webinar series for
county DSS directors in January and February 2012. The first part, scheduled for January 20,
2012 will focus on Creating a Trauma-Informed Agency Culture. The second part, scheduled for
February (specific date TBA) will provide an interactive forum for directors to discuss
Achievements, Outcomes, and Results. Descriptions are provided below:
Part 1: Many child welfare professionals are familiar with concepts such as secondary
trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. These topics are often discussed as individual
issues arising from the professional relationship. This webinar will explore trauma from a
different vantage point: how trauma exposure shapes the climate of our agencies, and what
agency leaders can do about it.
Part 2: Call them what you will: achievements, outcomes, or results – the pressure for
accountability in social service agencies is undeniable. Some of the pressure comes from
external sources, especially during difficult economic times. Some is internal, as we
become more convinced of our ability to do better work with children and families by
strategically planning and measuring our efforts. During this interactive webinar, directors
and administrators will discuss challenges and successes in creating an agency culture of
strategic thinking and data-informed decision making.
To register for these webinars, please go to https://www.ncswLearn.org. Once you log-in select My
Personalize Learning Portfolio (PLP) and then select Webinars to view and register for upcoming
webinars.
