EP 126: Established and Emerging Practices in Public Defender Social Work

NASW Social Work Talks Podcast

NASW Social Work Talks Established and Emerging Practices in Public Defender Social Work with Joanie Shreve & Melissa Rothstein

In NASW’s latest episode of Social Work Talks, sponsored by Illinois Department of DCFS, we converse with the Maryland Office of Public Defenders about their Office of Reentry Services. With the help of social workers on staff, it focuses on helping incarcerated individuals re-enter society—and provides them with resources so they can get a fresh start in becoming productive members of their communities. This is thanks to the help of the Second Chance Act.

Tune in, learn, and share.

Guests:
Joanie Shreve, LCSW, Forensic Social Worker
Melissa Rothstein, Chief of External Affairs Maryland Office of the Public Defender
