Fall 2008 Conference
Foundry Inn, Athens, GA
School Social Workers have the keys to assess student risk for
engaging in harmful behaviors. Whether students are
internalizing issues through suicide or externalizing behaviors
through bullying, schools are called on to ensure students are safe.
This year, we are excited about trying something new and
offering a conference with two conference tracks that we hope
will allow participants to leave the conference with in depth
knowledge and skills in the track they choose. In addition to
gaining knowledge during the conference, we hope you will enjoy
your time in Athens and connect with colleagues during the
evening activities. We hope that you will join us for the 2008
SSWAG Fall Conference in Athens, Georgia!
