The symposium features contributions from a diverse body of justice-oriented persons such as social workers, attorneys, law enforcement officers, advocates, educators, researchers, students, and others with direct industry experience seeking to collaboratively advance the field of forensic social work.

This workshop will examine changes to the Code of Ethics and ask critical questions about our identity as a profession. In what ways do our current professional values and ethical mandates create conflicts with our profession’s historical commitments to be agents of social change?

Join us as we examine trauma responses in children and adults after mass violence, explore the impact of violence on Communities of Color, dive into lessons learned from school shootings, and develop our resilience as we navigate the epidemic of gun violence in our nation.
