According to the report of the Public Relations and International Affairs Department of the State Welfare Organization, Dr. Seyed Hassan Mousavi Chelak, Deputy for Social Health of the State Welfare Organization, emphasized the importance of social workers and supervisors, highlighting four key components of supervisor skills: scientific knowledge, familiarity with documents and laws, knowledge of various organizational tasks, and program recognition.
He also stressed the importance of social work supervisors' mastery in educational and research needs assessment and training strong supervisors.
During the workshop, Hamid Reza Alvand, Director-General of the Office for Child and Adolescent Care and Empowerment, welcomed the participants and expressed gratitude to the colleagues from the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare, the University of Social Rehabilitation and Health Sciences, and UNICEF in Iran for their efforts in organizing the three-day workshop.
Alvand emphasized the necessity of holding such workshops and stated that training skilled forces to strengthen family-centered programs has always been a priority for the Office for Child and Adolescent Care and Empowerment. He added that in recent years, with the development of top-down laws, they have decided to move the office's programs towards strengthening family centrality.
He pointed out two important programs of the office for the upcoming year: establishing day care centers for children who can return to their families and reducing the harm caused by nighttime residential care, and launching child and family support centers to reduce admission to nighttime centers and strengthen family foundations by providing specialized social work services.
Alvand stated that a practical guide will be designed and sent to provinces for implementation, and in the coming year, efforts will be made to train 400 social work supervisors for the activities of the Office for Child and Adolescent Care and Empowerment.
A three-day training workshop titled "Social Work Supervision in Alternative Care" was held from January 16 to 18, with the aim of improving the social work supervision program in the field of alternative care for children under the supervision of the organization. The workshop was attended by 38 active social work supervisors from across the country, who are involved in the care of children in alternative families, and was financially supported by UNICEF. The event took place at the Talash Cultural and Sports Complex.
