Places to Retreat: Wellness Lounge
Conferences are a lot. The energy, the noise, the back-to-back
everything. That's why we've created a dedicated space where you can
step away, decompress, and come back to yourself. The Wellness Lounge
offers a sensory-friendly environment stocked with calming
tools and resources, a place to reset without fully checking out. The
space reflects our commitment to making this conference genuinely
accessible and welcoming for every attendee, including those who are
neurodivergent. Lounge is open during conference hours.
You can also attend wellness sessions each morning led by our wellness
instructor. Open to all registered attendees.
Additional Accommodations
If you require additional reasonable accommodation that is not already
being provided or listed above, NASW is pleased to provide such
accommodation with written notice.
