You are not alone.
We are all connected.
This conference seeks to create spaces for social workers to gather together and restore faith in themselves and the transformative potential of their practice. We hope to support practitioners in developing deep and nuanced understanding of how their positionality affects the work they do, and create opportunities to learn from first voices with varied experiences. Our goal is to build community for our members and to help us learn from one another, even as we work to liberate ourselves. We will be celebrating intersectional first voices amongst our members and learning from them, as part of our commitment to safer social work practice.
This conference will be a decentralized hybrid event, with the option of participating virtually or at in-person gatherings at regional hubs across Nova Scotia.
