Every person should have access to healthcare! \nProactively addressing the expanding role of social workers in addressing issues of population health\, trauma-informed approaches to care for individuals\, families\, groups\, and communities remain at the forefront of the world health agenda. These key indicators serve as a foundation for further exploration\, intervention\, and advocacy. \nConvening for its annual conference in March 2024\, Medgar Evers College celebrates Social Work Month with this year’s theme\, \n“Empowering Social Workers: Readjusting The Lens Of Society Through Social Work.” \nFeatured Panels \n\nUnderstanding Trauma Across The Life Course: Youth and Young Adults\nUnaddressed Trauma: Understanding the sign\, symptoms\, and impact of trauma among formerly incarcerated people.\nInequities in Health Care: Re-traumatization as an implication of health care service delivery\n\nThere are two ways to attend\, in person or via Zoom. \nRegister Now! \nMore information is forthcoming.
