ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Thursdays, September 16th - December 10th, 2020

7-9 PM EST

This new course will appeal to social workers at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Social workers and other helping professionals can market their new skills in a rapidly changing world, where situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the impact of environmental injustice, in the form of air pollution, on marginalized populations who experienced higher rates of severe illness and death. Social workers will learn the benefits of ensuring environmental justice on their professional goals and recognize multisolving for the traditional purposes of social work alongside positive environmental measures to multiply benefits. This solution-focused course will differentiate social workers by expanding their critical thinking and improving their efficacy.

Space is limited. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
