Event Overview

Reproductive Healthcare Challenge: Exploring Considerations for Improvement in Social Work Education & Practice
Olymphia O’Neale-White
This presentation will discuss reproductive healthcare and associated challenges to expand social work practitioners’ competency for improved advocacy, practice, and education efforts. Professional terminology in reproductive literature and existing policies will be presented, creating a baseline understanding of the conducted research for attendees. This will be followed by an in-depth exploration of social constructivism and reproductive healthcare.

This shapes the perception of care in both American societies and the social work profession. Secondary research involving social work students and reproductive health topics will be reviewed, displaying current gaps in curricula and room for growth. Theoretical frameworks will also be highlighted, with the Reproductive Justice Framework being presented as an option for standard practice in SWE and practical use in the field.

Participants will leave the presentation with a better understanding of reproductive healthcare and their role as social work professionals to enact change.
