As climate changes, environmental disasters and now a global pandemic are destabilising countries and communities across the world, social workers are increasingly being drawn into disaster practice. This may require social workers to locate to areas of significantly damaged landscapes and / or address unprecedented impacts in their own communities.
There is little doubt that these events will continue and indeed escalate as countries and communities grapple with ways to prepare for, address, and recover from major environmental and human-induced events.
This webinar introduces the various ways that social workers can engage with communities in undertaking disaster preparedness strategies, in the immediate aftermath of a major event or indeed in the long-term reconstruction phase when communities are coming to terms with their ‘new normal’.
This recording provides an introduction into the new forms of disaster practice and the need for social workers to have a greater understanding of this emerging field of practice.
Who should attend? Social workers keen to build their knowledge and skills in the emerging field of disaster practice.
