Community Education
Navigating from Social Services to Legal Services was ayear long lecture series funded by The Borchard Foundation Center and hosted by Bay Area Community Services.
Focusing on legal topics that social workers serving older adults face in their daily practice, the interactive lectures focus on helping social workers achieve the following:
- Develop interviewing and issue spotting skills
- Make social and legal services connections
- Learn to advocate for their older adult clients
- Learn how to access legal services for their client
Thank you to Bay Area Legal Aid and Legal Assistance for Seniors for contributing to the lecture materials, for collaborating on client referrals and for tirelessly serving our shared community.
