Bullying in School as Child Neglect
(2 Clinical CEUs)
November 9, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 pm in South Orange
Presenter: Stuart Green, LCSW, DMH
Bullying in school arises from weaknesses in school culture, for which educators are ultimately responsible. Bullying reflects neglect by educators of a responsibility comparable to the duty owed to children by caregivers and should be viewed as institutional child neglect. Child neglect measures should, therefore, be applied, including duty to report and the involvement of social service agencies and child advocates. Viewing childhood bullying in this way will lead to more effective prevention and addressing of bullying, and safer, better lives for children.
For those licensed in NY: NASW New Jersey Chapter SW CPE is recognized by the New York State Education Department's State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #0138.
COST FOR THIS COURSE:
NASW-NJ Member- $30.00
NASW-NJ Student Member or Gold Card Member- $15.00
Non-Member- $45.00
