Participants will be inspired to recognize and embrace their individual and collective power, understanding how their contributions are vital in advocating for equity, inclusion, and social justice. Through a series of thought-provoking discussions, and real-world examples, we will uncover strategies to amplify our impact, collaborate more effectively, and lead transformative initiatives. 

This presentation is designed to invigorate school social workers, reigniting their passion and commitment to their roles. By harnessing our collective strengths, we will chart a path forward, creating a brighter, more inclusive future for our students, families, and communities. Join us as we unlock the power within and drive meaningful change together.
