Social Work Celebration

Join us as we celebrate social work month virtually this year.

We will still be recognizing our Social Worker of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Legislator of the Year, MSW Student of the Year, BSW Student of the Year from Plymouth State, and BSW Student of the Year from UNH.

We will still have raffles! This year your registration fee ($1 or more) will be your raffle tickets and all proceeds will go to the NH Food Bank. You do need to be present to win.

Agenda:

• Welcome from Becky Parton, NH Chapter President
• Virtual networking
• Social Work Jeopardy (big prize!)
• Awards Celebration

This is a $1 event for anyone to attend, but we do hope you will purchase many raffle tickets so we can make a big donation to the NH Food Bank. Each dollar donation = one raffle ticket

Social work programs do not usually teach about dissociation. Often we think about Dissociative Disorders as something unwieldy that requires a high degree of specialized knowledge of clinical work to address. As social workers, however, we work with people who have experienced trauma all the time in all settings in social work practice. Whether or not our clients meet clinical criteria for PTSD, they most likely experience dissociation in some form. This workshop will discuss several models that explain what dissociation is, how it effects our work, and why it is essential to the success of our clients to be able to assess for dissociation in our clients and in ourselves. We will look at theory and research as well as case studies and anecdotal experience to begin to identify dissociation in our clients and ourselves and to learn when and how to use strategies and interventions to mitigate it.
