Child Welfare Training and Curriculum Development

The Resource Program has developed many curricula for child welfare social workers and other human services professionals. Most of these courses were developed under contract with the N.C. Division of Social Services and are currently offered free of charge to social workers from North Carolina departments of social services.

To learn more about class times and registration for a particular course go to ncswLearn.org, a site where North Carolina's human services professionals can discover and engage in the learning opportunities provided by the NC Division of Social Services.

If you work in child welfare outside of North Carolina and you are interested in learning more about the courses we have developed, please contact the Resource Program's training coordinator, Amy Ramirez (t: 919/962-4365; e: aramirez@email.unc.edu).
