摘要
A Financial Social Work Certificate program launched, responding to a need for greater financial knowledge and skill development among social workers. Community leaders who were alumni of a social work school partnered with educators and researchers to plan and organize an intensive 7-day training over the course of 7 months, through the School's Office of Continuing Professional Education. Content focused on understanding personal finance, learning about interventions to address clients' financial needs, exploring critical and emerging macro issues, and focusing on how these dovetail with clinical practice. Preliminary results on financial social work self-efficacy indicate greater self-efficacy over three evaluation time points. Next steps will include a more robust evaluation and fostering a network of engaged graduates.
