The Mandel Leadership Fellows will present their capstone projects via a webinar Thursday, May 13, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The capstone projects are a culminating scholarly project completed by the Fellows in conjunction with the evidence-based practice course (SASS 538: Evidence-Based Practice, Selection, Implementation and Practice Issues) completed in their final semester.
The projects critically examine some aspect of evidence-based social work practice, and typically explore and propose new or best practice innovations to improve social work direct or community practices.
The Leadership Fellows will give the following presentations:
- Ebony Clayton: “Promoting LGBTQ+ Equity in Youth Drop-In Centers”
- Cheyenne DeShields: “Examining the Roles and Needs of VA Occupational Health Providers in Supporting Worker Mental Health During COVID-19”
- Amanda Ferrante: “The ABCs of Sleep: An Ongoing Effort to Address Infant Mortality in NICU Families”
