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 held virtually.

(Note: this was originally planned as a decentralized hybrid event, with the option of participating at in-person gatherings at regional hubs across Nova Scotia. After the pivot to virtual-only, registrants for hub locations had their ticket changed and the difference in fees refunded; please contact nscsw@nscsw.org if you have questions about your conference ticket.)

NSCSW members who need financial support to join the conference are eligible to apply for a bursary to cover their entire conference registration fee.

Bursary applications are open until May 1.
