Haruv Institute - Annual Report 2017

STUDY AND TRAINING PROGRAMS ׀ WELFARE AND MULTI-DISCIPLINARY FIELDS

SEMINARS FOR STUDENTS OF SOCIAL WORK

Goal: To expose students nearing completion of their studies in social work to the world of content of maltreated children, as well as providing communication skills with children who experienced traumatic events. Activities include lecture, a workshop on how to talk with children about difficult events, and participation in simulations with professional actors – presenting common situations in the social worker’s encounters with families-at-risk. Target Population: Students of Social Work.

Number of Sessions: 4 one-day sessions

Participants: 350

Location: The Center of Medical Simulation (MSR)

Budget : NIS 95,000

Participants’ Feedback:

I gained further knowledge regarding children-at-risk, and children who were/are victims of abuse, support frameworks and how such frameworks operate. Additionally, the simulations were very interesting, placing emphasis on the family network. The third simulation for me lacked a reference to the mother herself and her situation, not just focusing on the children. I learned a lot about not hiding things from children, also about my role as a social-worker, and especially about being honest and stating the purpose of the meeting. It was superb.
