Master of Social Work - Child and Family Welfare

The LIU MSW Program’s concentration in Child and Family Welfare prepares students interested in working in an interdisciplinary context with children and their families. This concentration was developed with input from the Nassau County Department of Social Services, Nassau County Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Family and Children’s Association and other community based organizations’ personnel. It incorporates knowledge, values, and skills that professionals need to effectively work with children and their families across a broad range of social issues and in multiple programs. After completing the foundation year MSW coursework, students in the second (specializedconcentration) year then develop their understanding about policies and services specific to children and families, family violence across the lifespan, community based practice with children and families and childhood psychopathology.
