About the Conference
Trauma is an emotional response to a negative event. Without appropriate support services, unresolved trauma can have a significant impact on one’s overall functionality, well-being, and life course. Furthermore, emerging issues across healthcare delivery systems have demonstrated significant inequities in levels of quality and access to resources for socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, people of color, people with disabilities, and women. Every person should have access to healthcare!
Proactively addressing the expanding role of social workers in addressing issues of population health, trauma-informed approaches to care for individuals, families, groups, and communities remain at the forefront of the world health agenda. These key indicators serve as a foundation for further exploration, intervention, and advocacy.
Convening for its annual conference in March 2024, Medgar Evers College celebrates Social Work Month with this year’s theme,
“Empowering Social Workers: Readjusting The Lens Of Society Through Social Work.”
