Earn Up to 79.5 CEs during the NASW Virginia and Metro DC On-Demand Annual Conference (Now-June 30) 

Meet your professional development requirements from the comfort and convenience of your home and office during the NASW Virginia and Metro DC On-Demand Conference, running now through June 30. Social workers can work their way through a lineup of 35 foundational, advanced, and emerging-topic sessions and five keynotes while earning up to 79.5 CEs.

Topics include ethics, law, technology, advocacy, trauma, research, addiction, aging, neurodiversity, racial and social justice, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, child and adolescent welfare, private practice concerns, best-practice innovations, introduction of fandoms into therapeutic practices, expressive arts, self-care, boundary-setting, and much more.

In addition, registration includes an on-demand film and recorded panel discussion, the Annual Awards ceremony with a skills-focused keynote, and a 24/7 Virtual Exhibitor Fair of dozens of organizations, companies, and others that offer resources, services, and job opportunities.

The conference also offers sessions with specific CEs: ethics (22.25 CEs), LGBTQIA2S+ (5.25 CEs), and Public Health Priorities (6 CEs, for DC-licensed social workers).

The On-Demand Conference is created from recordings of the sister In-Person Conference in March and Live-Virtual Conference in May, both of which generated high praise from the 360+ social workers who attended the earlier events:

—“I left the conference energized and reconnected to social values."

—"The NASW VA/Metro DC conference was a great opportunity to hear cutting-edge information on a variety of relevant topics in social work practice from direct practice to policy." 

—"Great opportunity to meet others, get reenergized, affirm practice, and learn new skills."

—"The conference provided the opportunity to reset, recharge, and remind me how valuable our profession is to individuals, families, and communities."
