Children of Promise, NYC's Clinical Training Institute is newly recognized by the State Education Department's State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for all licensed social workers (LMSWs and LCSWs) centered around the treatment of parental incarceration as a primary childhood trauma.
Clinical & Advocacy Focused Practices
The Institute's courses will teach practitioners, teachers, service providers, and anyone else looking to learn more about the clinical and advocacy-focused practices within our community-based model. With an emphasis on the legacy of oppressive social and political forces on mass incarceration today, and the anti-racist focus behind the therapeutic services employed at our agency, practitioners will learn to combat this oppression on a macro, mezzo, and micro level.
Courses are oriented towards practitioners and service providers, but are open to any individual looking to develop their evidence-based skills working with justice-impacted populations and children who have experienced trauma.
