Although WALC is predominately an educational organization, many of our volunteers, staff and teachers have had to take on the role of a social worker when helping our learner with a variety of needs, including but not limited to, understand their mail, taking them to doctor's appointments, and more.
Meri Klem Lubinsky will present on what social work involves and what those of us who might have stepped into that role, without the proper training... should know.
Meri is the medical social worker at Aurora Health in Oshkosh and works with many refugee community members within the healthcare setting.
The targeted audience for this event: WALC staff, teachers, and volunteers, community members with interest in learning more about immigration, community members who want to expand their knowledge about different immigrant cultures and to better develop cultural sensitivity when working with people from diverse backgrounds.
