Advocacy through Storytelling: Skill Building for Social Workers at All Levels of Practice

Story-telling is an uniquely powerful way to engage in advocacy.

Join us for an interactive workshop to learn more about what makes storytelling an effective method for advocacy and tips for telling your own story.
