Men in Social Work?

Oct. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Raleigh, NC - The National Association of Social Workers, North Carolina Chapter holds its 2011 Annual Fall Conference at the Renaissance Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina on November 18-19.  One workshop explores how to support and recruit men into the social work profession.

Workshop participants are in for a unique opportunity to discuss the support of male social workers and allow for networking among men who have chosen a career in social work.  All are invited to come share ideas during the networking session on how to focus on recruiting more men into the social work profession and discuss the issues and concerns that are unique to men in a female dominated profession.  Your ideas may lead to the development of programs that meet the needs of male social workers.

The Fall Conference is a meeting for the entire Social Work profession.  Everyone from the social work student to the Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice can benefit from the presentation offerings.  The Fall Conference is designed to focus on professional development, social worker physical and mental self-care, alternative practices and therapies, as well as issues related to the practice of social work in general.
