I’ve got 8 CEUs to finish by March and want courses that sharpen safety planning and parent engagement for reunification, not just theory. Any recommendations for practice-heavy trainings (SOP, safety mapping, MI with parents) that truly help us protect kids while moving toward safe reunification?
Need those 8 CEUs by March? Grab PESI’s MI with Parents in Child Welfare for the hours and scripts, then layer a Signs of Safety on‑demand intro and practice with Casey’s safety mapping guide: Safety Organized Practice – Casey Family Programs. If DV is a factor, swap in Safe & Together Core — great for actionable safety planning, just a bit longer.
Building on @l_knight92, Evident Change’s SOP/SDM virtual workshop gave me real safety‑mapping reps with live coaching; I then added a short MI skills lab, though MINT doesn’t always issue CEUs. If you need self‑paced back‑ups, try NASW’s CE Institute search for “reunification” and “safety planning”: https://naswinstitute.inreachce.com. Would a live virtual block fit your timeline?
