CALL FOR PROPOSALS

 

In order to provide a more comprehensive and unified experience for our attendees, NASW-NYC is changing its conference structure to showcase the integration of our other annual conference, the Addictions Institute. Therefore, NASW-NYC will be strongly considering presentations that include a focus on substance use and misuse and other behavioral addictions as the target topic area being addressed.

 

NASW-NYC encourages all presentations to include a lens that demonstrates respect, appreciation, and knowledge of race, diversity, oppression and intersectionality as it is related to their topic area. NASW-NYC also encourages presenters to review the Grand Challenges for Social Work to ensure that their presentation includes holistic and dynamic social work objectives.

 

We ask that interested presenters submit a 2-hour proposal that can be one or a combination of the following topic areas:

 

• The Individual - current and emerging policy and community implications, interventions and/or evidence-based best practices for:
  • Self (self-awareness, mindfulness, etc.)
  • Direct practice
  • Clinical practice (Presentations on clinical practice require that at least one presenter is an LCSW) 

• The Community - current and emerging trends, policy and community implications, best practices, skills and knowledge for:
  • Community organizing
  • Organizational leadership and management development
  • Program development in organizations

• The System - current and emerging trends, policy and community implications, skills and information in:
  • Advocacy and leadership
  • Policy, government and research

 

Potential presenters are asked to consider whether their topics will be of limited interest to a narrow portion of the profession or whether it can be generalized and expanded to be of interest to many.
