About this conference
The NASW-MD 7th Annual Ocean City Conference, themed 'Transforming the Tides,' is an in-person professional development event designed for social workers. The conference includes a pre-conference reception on May 5th, followed by three days of workshops from May 6th to May 8th, offering a total of 17 CEUs. Key workshop topics include the effects of childhood trauma on adults, the use of narrative therapy, understanding feminism as a tool for anti-oppressive social work practice, integrating culture and equity in trauma-informed care, navigating ethical practice by reclaiming social work roots, and addressing implicit bias in practice. Several workshops specifically meet Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners (MD BSWE) and COMAR licensing requirements for continuing education. The event aims to enhance attendees' clinical effectiveness, foster resilience, promote ethical decision-making, and strengthen anti-oppressive social work practice across diverse settings.
