Fall Virtual Events 2024 in place of in-person conference
SSWLHC is currently considering exciting options for a virtual educational event in place of an in-person conference for 2024. While we value the opportunity to come together and learn together in person, we have also heard the feedback from our members that they enjoy a balance of virtual and live trainings and events. We are also aware of the financial costs of attending live trainings where travel is involved and strive to provide cost-effective events that offer exceptional educational value. Stay tuned for more information at the end of summer regarding our fall virtual events!
July 2024
SSWLHC extends opportunities beyond its membership program to social work continuing education initiatives. In addition to an Annual Meeting and Conference SSWLHC offers its members and members of the community to attend our virtual webinars, recorded presentations and in-person events. These educational offerings represent the latest and most applicable topics to health social workers. If there is a topic you would like to see, please let us know! Email us with your ideas!
