What is your favorite type of self-care practice?

I enjoy going to the beach and taking my dogs out on hikes.

What are the benefits of reaching out to regional leadership?

Reaching out to leadership allows your ideas to be heard and support to be given.

Can you share about the events you host in your area and how members can get involved or benefit from this?

Social Work in the Library (SWITL) is the first Monday of the month from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. We offer private 20-minute sessions to provide referrals and information to services in the community. Volunteers are always welcome! We are involved with the Social Work Department of California State University San Marcos

Is there any additional information about yourself that you’d like to share with members in your area?

I am open to hearing about event ideas that any member would like to create or promote in the North County San Diego area! We are always looking for ways to engage our current members and reach out to those who may not know about what we do. The best way to get a hold of me is by email at meaganwallacenasw@gmail.com
