When Missouri’s leaders need solutions for the urgent issues facing our population — unemployment, health care, mental health services, education and victim assistance, for example — the School of Social Work is a valuable resource. Faculty members serve on state boards and committees, providing expertise and knowledge. Research projects provide assistance to policy-makers and administrators. The school also has been working with state officials to develop and implement leadership training for first-level, state-funded supervisors to assist with public work force development. Ideally, this initiative will serve as the foundation for similar programs to be administered through the school’s proposed Leadership Center. The Leadership Center would provide continuing education targeted at the state’s most critical needs related to work force development, particularly in the areas of child welfare, health and senior services, mental health, corrections and public policy. The center also would offer an efficient organizational structure for faculty and students to participate in program evaluation, to develop innovative ways to deliver services, and to disseminate knowledge regarding effective practices, policies and programs.
