The College’s 2024 Annual Meeting and Education Day (AMED) took place on June 4, 2024. This year’s theme was Engage and Evolve: Collaborative Approaches to Care. Videos of all the sessions are now available to watch on the College website and YouTube channel.
Employers are encouraged to share these practice resources with their social work and social service work staff. These videos can serve as relevant professional development tools, supporting your social work and social service work staff in upholding professional and ethical standards of care.
