Learn how to use AI tools to transform your social work practice. Discover practical techniques for case notes, biopsychosocial assessments, court reports, treatment plans, resource referrals, advocacy letters, and grant writing. Built for clinical, child welfare, school, and community social workers. No coding required.
Social workers spend a significant share of their working hours on documentation: case notes, biopsychosocial assessments, court reports, treatment plans, and grant applications. This free course shows you how to apply AI tools, including ChatGPT and Claude, to the specific writing and research tasks that fill your caseload, so you can reclaim time for direct client work. No coding background is needed.
The course moves through four modules that mirror how a social worker actually uses AI. You start with the basics of how AI works and which tools suit social work contexts, then move straight into practice: drafting progress notes and intake assessments, researching community resources, writing advocacy letters, preparing court documentation, and structuring treatment plans. Later modules cover grant writing for social service agencies, building custom GPTs tuned to your caseload, and prompt engineering techniques that consistently produce useful output.
A dedicated lesson on AI ethics, HIPAA, and client confidentiality makes sure you understand the boundaries of safe AI use before applying it with real clients. The course is designed for clinical, child welfare, school, and community social workers at any career stage. Finish all lessons and pass the final exam to earn a certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.
