Influencing the Narrative for the 2024 Elections
Storytelling is a powerful tool that has been used for centuries to convey information and connect with others. Social workers use storytelling in different ways in working with individuals, families, communities and society generally.
1:00 PM EST - Young Social Workers Speak
New York University DC Abramson Family Auditorium

The Social Work Day on the Hill midday event is a panel discussion by social work students or recent graduates to bring their voices and perspectives to the table. They will give their views on the challenge for social workers to be engaged in activities that preserve and strengthen democracy while responding to the question: Can Social Workers Help Save Democracy? 2022 CRISP Fellow Avah Toomer will moderate the panel.
