23rd Annual Fall Social Work Conference

Name: 23rd Annual Fall Social Work Conference Location: Hyatt Regency Birmingham – The Wynfrey Hotel Date: Oct. 9-11 Time: 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Link: https://training.ua.edu/fall-conference/ Description: The Annual Fall Social Work Conference affords an opportunity to bring national speakers along with the latest research to child welfare practitioners in Alabama. Through the Title IV-E partnership between the Alabama Department of Human Resources and the Alabama Higher Education Consortium on Child Welfare, The University of Alabama School of Social Work hosts the conference every year focusing on a different aspect of public child welfare. The many workshops will continue the discussion of issues related to child well-being as well as workforce well-being. This conference is designed with the public child welfare workforce in mind but would be beneficial to anyone working with at-risk children and their families – school social workers, therapists, foster parents and child-placing agencies, just to name a few. The 23rd Annual Fall Social Work Conference will offer approximately 9.5 contact hours. The total amount will be confirmed when the agenda is finalized. Proposals for this conference are being accepted through July 18.
