    Social Workers (NASW)

    As our nation faces major changes in the social safety net, the need
    for well-trained social workers has never been stronger. Major
    opportunities exist for the social work profession in health care,
    schools and government settings. Few professions offer the skills
    and training to fulfill these roles better than social workers. We are
    needed at every level; front-line service, supervisors, team leaders,
    program managers, policy-makers, educators, and researchers.
    This presentation will focus on trends in practice and opportunities
    for social workers to impact on our changing practice environment,
    both nationally and in CT.
