Upcoming Virtual Environmental Justice in Social Work Discussion Panels- 2/14, 4/4, & 5/23

We are delighted to announce and invite you to this series to grow our skills, knowledge, and practice in an emerging and rapidly growing social work practice area, Environmental Justice.

As you know Competency 3 calls on us to advance Environmental Justice.  We are honored that leaders in this area of practice and study are offering us a unique look at this emergent practice area.

We thank the UW SSW student group Social Workers for Environmental Justice, UW SSW faculty, Field Instructors, and community members for collaborating and planning this discussion panel series to deepen our understanding and practice of EJ in social work
