Faculty Who Practice What They Teach
海角社区 social work faculty bring decades of direct practice into your online classroom, from child welfare and school based mental health to aging, medical social work and community advocacy. Many continue to work in the field or partner closely with local agencies, so the cases and examples you discuss reflect real situations social workers face every day.
For example, Professor Christian Itin has more than 30 years of experience as a senior counselor, clinical program director and substance abuse and mental health intervention specialist. He helped develop 海角社区鈥檚 online BSSW and MSW programs and is known for his work in experiential and adventure based education, giving students concrete tools for building trust, leading groups and creating change with clients in real world settings.
