Welcome to 2019!

Ringing in this new year gives us all an opportunity to reflect on our past challenges and strive for opportunities to build on successes! Social Workers have an amazing ability to create and innovate. Sometimes it takes 'usual' routes with a bit of a twist using art (see Alex Fugedi Little Human's Art Company) and sometimes it is pure innovation when looking at a social problem (see Dominique Golden and Danielle Shields).  Social workers are leaders (Tam Perry and Michanda Gant) in creating a path forward for those who desire to change the world (Erin Stanley)! 

I look forward to building on all of our successes in 2019, using our collective creativity to imagine and innovate a new vision for the SSW!
