The 2024 NASW-NJ Annual Conference will explore the theme: Life In A Traumatic World: Implications for Social Work Practice.
We live in a traumatic world – our exposure to pandemics, natural disasters, gun and community violence all contribute to both the personal and collective trauma we experience. According to a World Health Organization study in 24 countries, 70% of people reported experiencing traumas, with an average of 3.2 traumatic events in their lifetimes. And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are interested in receiving proposals for advanced clinical interventions that can be applied to address the impact of both collective and personal traumatic events on the clients and communities we serve.
