Financial interdependence—rooted in mutual support and collective wellbeing—is prevalent across relationships and cultures but often misunderstood in social service settings. This workshop equips social workers with tools to recognize, assess, and navigate clients’ financial networks, where money and resources are shared within families and communities.
Participants will explore how these financial ties influence eligibility, service delivery, and client stability. Topics include cultural variations in financial support, power dynamics in financial relationships, strategies for assessment and documentation, and emerging trends in digital resource sharing.
Objectives:
Awareness: Examine how personal experiences and socialization shape perspectives on financial interdependence.
Knowledge: Analyze how structural factors, cultural norms, and life course transitions influence patterns of financial interdependence.
Skills: Apply culturally responsive strategies to navigate financial interdependence in social service delivery.
Audience: Social Workers, LCPCs, and Psychologists
