The REAL Academy is a private company that specializes in the training of social workers and in improving the effectiveness of their agencies. Through complimentary partnerships with institutions of higher learning as well as county level and state government, we seek to solve problems within the social work system. Our team develops custom simulation based training that pairs with knowledge delivery which reinforces the skills needed to be successful within any DSS system. For too long organizations have leaned on knowledge centric trainings delivered via lecture and slide presentations. Today, more than ever our social workers need to be prepared for the unusual situations they are likely to encounter.Our methodology supports a flexible and adaptive response strategy to real life scenarios that social workers are likely to encounter. We build on a system of "muscle memory", not in a physical sense, but in forming cognitive strategies and reliable communication best practices. The social work industry is one that is immersed in emotion, tension, and adrenaline. Sister industries such as medical, public safety, and defense, have used simulations and scenarios for ages to help students build confidence in how they would react to situations and product positive outcomes. Our approach is no different. Within our tool set we recreate real life situations using experienced actors, technology, environment creation, and logical story boards to prepare social workers for their first day on the job.
