The world feels like it’s crumbling — and social workers are being asked to hold it all together.
You’re expected to care for clients, advocate for systemic change, and somehow tend to your own well-being. It is overwhelming.

At NASW-MN, we believe support, inspiration, and new approaches are essential for these unprecedented times.
That is why we are doing things differently.

Introducing the NASW-MN UnConference
A day designed to build resilience through community, creativity, and care.

About the UnConference
This is not a typical conference.
No panels. No breakout sessions. No PowerPoint fatigue.
Instead, the UnConference offers:

Tools for radical self-care
Practices for deep connection and community-building
Space to reflect on how we dismantle oppression and move toward liberation

Throughout the day, we will explore:

How do we care for ourselves in a profession built on caring for others?
How do we build authentic connections, even across differences?
How do we create real, lasting change?

This is a day to set down your laptop and bring your full self.
Expect keynotes that spark hope, interactive experiences, and moments of real conversation and reflection, including:

A Keynote from Marjorie Grevious: Align Towards Joy
Liberation includes releasing that which hinders you, and healing from what hurts in order to allow space for a more expansive experience of joy. Learn how rest and ease can help align your mind, body, spirit and social towards a life that you want to live by claiming more of who you are, and not just what you do for others.

A workshop from Danger Boat Productions: From Ambiguity to Action: Communication Skills for Uncertain Times
Drawing from their unique improv performance background, this workshop will focus on navigating uncertainty and communication, using improv-based techniques to help participants communicate more clearly, listen more actively, and collaborate with greater confidence.

You will leave feeling supported, recharged, and reconnected.
