Join us for an evening of reflection, connection, and renewal as we gather for Iftar, the meal to break the fast during Ramadan. This special event will provide a space for mindfulness, gratitude, and community dialogue as we reflect on the spiritual, personal, and collective lessons of the holy month.

The evening will include guided reflections, moments of prayer and remembrance, and an opportunity to share personal insights on growth, resilience, and the deeper meaning of fasting. As we break bread together, we will foster meaningful conversations centered on gratitude, generosity, and strengthening our bonds as a community.

All are welcome to join in this sacred moment of pause and togetherness. Whether you are observing Ramadan or joining in solidarity, we invite you to share in this experience of reflection, renewal, and unity.

March 20, 2025 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET

Recent years have witnessed a drastic increase in anti-trans policies and legislation proposed and pass across the U.S. Given the ethical mandates of the profession and the values rooted in social justice, social workers must be at the forefront of addressing these harmful policies and the rhetoric surrounding them. Clinical and macro practitioners alike have a critical role to play in supporting transgender and gender expansive children and adults, as well as their families, and advocating against policies that seek to do harm to transgender people. This workshop will first provide social work practitioners with a background on the current U.S. context as it relates to anti-trans policies, legislation, and rhetoric. Next, practitioners will develop clinical, macro, and multisystem skills for supporting transgender individuals and advocating at the community or state levels.
