National Online Training for Child Welfare Professionals

Research demonstrates that child welfare professionals are in a unique position to identify and support families experiencing domestic violence, but they need the appropriate training. National Online Training program development began in 2015 with funding received from the Verizon Foundation. Through the use of dynamic and interactive workshops, the program provides child welfare professionals a comprehensive understanding of interpersonal violence and its impact on the children they serve, hoping to ensure staff are better equipped to provide survivor-centered and trauma-informed care.

The Program currently has 8 online courses available for enrollment with 2 additional sessions slated to roll out through 2024. All courses are self-paced with rolling enrollment through the Department of Continuing Studies. Access the catalog of current offerings and register for courses, here: https://ce-catalog.rutgers.edu.  Please contact our Training Team for further information at training@ssw.rutgers.edu.
