PROGRAM
*Preliminary Program Announced*
Spanning three days, the Conference main program will be offered over eight concurrent streams each day.
The diverse range of topics covered in each stream will explore the intersection between social workers and Health and Mental Health care.
Blending keynote and featured speakers, plenary and concurrent sessions and workshops, the Conference program will bring forward new concepts, discuss existing practices and give attendees the most up to date subject knowledge available.
Please note that the preliminary program is subject to change and sessions and topics may vary as more speakers and activities are announced in the following months. Stay tuned as we release more information on keynote speakers and session topics.
