THE SLA/GSWPF PROGRAM
The Gerontological Social Work Practice Fellows Program (GSWPF) – conducted by the Helen Rehr Center in 2009, 2011, and 2014 – served as a prototype for the 3 year national rollout of the Supervisory Leaders in Aging Program (SLA) in 2015. Under the sponsorship of the National Association of Social Workers and funded by a grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation, SLA training was extended to the states of Maryland, Florida, and Illinois. In 2015 and 2016 – under the SLA banner and sponsored by the NASW New York City Chapter and the Helen Rehr Center – two additional training programs were held.
In all four states a common curriculum taught by local faculty was utilized and outcome evaluations conducted. The curriculum provided training to supervisors in the field of aging services with the goal of advancing their skills as teachers and leaders and their gerontological knowledge.
The following is a list of the New York City Practice Fellows who graduated from the program in 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
