NASW-DE 2021 Virtual Conference
The State of Social Work: Lessons from 2020
As we mark one year since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's important that we recognize that this anniversary will impact many of our clients--and many of us--just as other difficult anniversaries do. The death of a loved one, ending of a relationship, illness, loss, and other tragedies--the anniversary of the pandemic will not only impact us in a similar manner to these anniversaries, but will also be compounded by these types of losses people have experienced in the past year.
Even as we move towards the end of a year long struggle with the introduction of vaccination, it’s important to take the lessons we’ve learned from this past year into our practices moving forward.
We hope you’ll join NASW-DE for our one-day conference where we will discuss how this past year has shaped our profession and tools to continue your essential work as we navigate the roads ahead. As always NASW members get a discount on our programs, but this year student members attend for FREE!
We hope you'll join us for this meeting of the profession.
