The Forensic Social Work Certificate is a continuing education program sanctioned by the Forensic Social Work Alliance. This certificate program is open to anyone working in a forensic social work related field or who is an alumni or current student in a social work program. Participants will receive training in topics foundational to sound forensic social work knowledge. It would be appropriate to list or note this certificate among a professional’s specialized areas of training. It would not be appropriate to list as a credential after one’s name (e.g. Sallie Sue, FSWC).
The virtual program will be offered from 2:00 – 6:30pm eastern time on Day 1 and 2:00-5:30pm on Day 2. Participation in the entire program is required to complete the certificate program. The format will allow for viewing of the presentation and supporting materials as well as interaction between the presenters and participants in real time.
