Is your department considering hiring a social worker for the first time? Or have you already hired a social worker and you are looking for guidance? Check out our new guide on best practices for embedding social workers.
PAARI teamed up with the National Association of Social Workers and currently embedded social workers in Jeffersontown, KY to create the “Best Practices for Embedding a Social Worker in your Police Department.”
About social work:
Social work is a profession in which trained professionals are devoted to helping vulnerable people and communities work through challenges they face. A team approach of both sworn officers and trained social workers allows for a more holistic approach to meet the needs of individuals and the community to minimize the risks in the moment and begin to address the larger picture.
