Forensic Social Work 101: Finding Your Way In (Virtual Workshop)

You want to work in forensic social work, courts, corrections, forensic units, reentry programs, but nobody hands out a roadmap for how to actually get there. Job postings ask for experience you can't get without a job, and it's easy to feel stuck outside a field you know you're suited for.

This workshop is about finding your way in. We'll cover how forensic social work roles are actually structured, what agencies and hiring managers look for, how to make your current experience count even if it's not labeled "forensic," and what steps make sense for where you are right now.

Who it's for: Licensed or in-progress social workers who want into forensic settings and aren't sure where to start, no forensic experience required.

What you'll get:

• A clear picture of where forensic social work roles actually exist

• How to position your background for these roles

• What to prioritize (and skip) when it comes to credentials

• Real talk on entry points and how people actually break in

• A next-steps plan you can start on right away

Seats are limited to keep it interactive.
