Since the election, we have received many inquiries about this conference. Many social workers, human service professionals, and allied health professionals have shared that they are working extra hours to meet the needs of Latino families. Social workers are looking forward to this conference to share their experiences, and meet other human service professionals who are providing micro/mezzo/macro services to the Latino community. Also, consider this conference as an opportunity to debrief and share with others your experiences.
