“While social workers are on the front lines addressing critical needs facing our society — issues ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic, to systemic racism, to increased instances of mental illness and suicide — we are also agents of change, identifying critical issues and proactively developing systems, policies and interventions that will meet those needs,” said Jennifer Thompson, MSW, Executive Director of NASW-NJ. “This year’s Annual Conference focuses on the future of social work and creates space for social workers to come together to co-create the future of our profession.”
“vFairs is thrilled to support organizations such as NASW to further its cause of social welfare. A virtual event such as this can reach many more people trying to learn about the social work space,” says Muhammad Younas, CEO of vFairs.
