Register to attend October 7 Social Work Conference in person or virtually
Registration is now available online for those faculty, students, and alumni interested in attending Saint Leo’s Eighth Annual Social Work Conference, which will be held in-person and virtually on Friday, October 7. The graduate and undergraduate Social Work departments of the College of Education and Social Services organize the event as a service to those working in the field, and to fellow social work educators, interested students, and members of the public.
Licensed social workers can earn up to five continuing education credits by attending; fees have been set at a modest level. Saint Leo faculty, students, and alumni attend for free, but still must register.
The theme of the conference this year is “The Time is Right for Social Work,” as this topic was selected by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) for its awareness campaign.
Our nation’s 650,000 social workers deal with some of the most difficult issues impacting individuals, families and communities: schools and interpersonal family violence, natural and human made disasters, telehealth care, health care and mental health care, public health, impact of social media and technology, aging, youth, reentry and reintegration for prisoners, and trauma. It is important that we not only address these issues but more importantly identify solutions and actions to address these problems that lead to hope.
Spend the day virtually networking with other individuals in the social work community while learning about innovation in practice, policy, and research.
For more information on the conference or continuing education credits, please contact msw@saintleo.edu.
