A Message from Executive Director Walter Kalman
This year, the New Jersey Social Work Education, Research and Scholarship Corporation (NJ SWERS) was created to address the professional needs of the over 20,000 trained social workers as well as social work students enrolled in 9 schools of social work in the state of New Jersey.
We are very excited that NJ SWERS is hosting our
45th Anniversary Gala (see below for ticket information). Plan to be there as we celebrate our fabulous members, 45 years of great Chapter programs and events, and the birth of NJ SWERS.
|
 We were proud to support our advocacy partner, the
Anti-Poverty Network of NJ, at their annual Poverty Summit on Tuesday, October 13.
The program, entitled "Weeding Out Poverty: Uncovering the Roots of Racial and Economic Injustice," offered great workshops and a panel of people with lived experience. Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto and former Governor Jim McGreevey also spoke. McGreevey energized the crowd to rally around issues of injustice for people with substance abuse who are in the criminal justice system.
If you are interested in getting involved in our advocacy efforts, contact Renee Koubiadis, Advocacy Coordinator at
rkoubiadis@naswnj.org or 732-296-8070 x 14.

Power Imbalance, Knowledge Deficits and the Underutilization of Hospice
(2 Clinical CEUs)
October 19, 2015 from 6:00-8:00pm in Fanwood
Presenter: Shari Littman, LCSW
Why is hospice underutilized? The lack of knowledge in the healthcare community and the imbalance of power between healthcare providers and patients/families are contributing factors. This workshop is for social workers in all fields of practice who wish to learn how to educate patients and families with life-limiting illnesses on how to make informed decisions.
COST FOR THIS COURSE:
NASW-NJ Member- $30.00
NASW-NJ Student Member or Gold Card Member- $15.00
Non-Member- $45.00

Breaking the Myth: Changing the Perception of the Single Parent Household
(2 Clinical, Social/Cultural CEUs)
October 22, 2015 from 6:00-8:00pm in Jersey City
Presenters: Myra Robinson, PhD, LCSW & Tamisha Engram, LSW
As single parent homes become more prevalent, the idealization of the traditional family structure must also change. Over half of society's African-American youth are being raised by one parent, namely the mother, and yet society tends to ignore the positive aspects of being raised by a single mother. This workshop will introduce a framework for a culturally sensitive counseling model that uses the Resilience Theory and a strength perspective in order to better understand single mothers and their family structure.
COST FOR THIS COURSE:
NASW-NJ Member- $30.00
NASW-NJ Student Member or Gold Card Member- $15.00
Non-Member- $45.00
