With more than 20 years of marketing leadership experience across the public\, private\, and nonprofit sectors\, he has overseen numerous strategic marketing initiatives from the rebrand of Incompass to the launch of the New England Human Services Collaborative. Dan previously served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Suffolk University and Director of Marketing at Harvard Kennedy School\, and is currently the Chair of the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce. \n  \nThomas Stirling is the Founder of an agency called Stirling Brandworks based in Winchester\, MA and an accomplished marketing leader.

SUMMARY:Community Webinar: Social Justice in Social Work Practice - The Liberation Health Model of Practice
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: March 24; 6:30 to 8:00p.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nPlease note that this webinar is hosted by Bridgewater State University. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to Carol Bonner. \nCOVID-19 has unmasked our current socio-political crisis; tensions have never been higher and social workers are on the frontlines. On a daily basis we witness the economic\, racial and cultural oppression our clients are experiencing.

This presentation will introduce clinical social workers to the liberation health framework: a social justice-focused method of clinical practice which integrates analysis of cultural\, social and political forces with traditional clinical models. \nThis session is approved for 1.5 CEUs for Social Work. \nRegister Here! \n  \nDuring this session\, participants will: \n– Articulate an overview of the Liberation Health theoretical framework as applied to social justice focused clinical practice. \n– Describe the Liberation Health assessment model of clinical social work practice. \n– Identify the four key liberation health intervention methods of social work practice. \n  \nPresented by: Dr. Dawn Belkin-Martinez\, MSW\, PhD \n  \nCost: Free
