“Being a social worker has been a job, a career and my life’s work. Being able to educate and nurture the next generation by teaching at the Silberman School of Social Work is a rewarding and inspiring highlight for me.

The social work profession needs more social workers that reflect the diversity of our communities. Silberman welcomes and blends a class that represents the beautiful mosaic of our country. The students are exceptionally motivated to address inequity and make a difference in communities in need. We educate students to question authority, to ask ‘why not’, and to address social justice for all.

The staff at Silberman supports students and faculty in the journey to become forces of change. The school respects its students while pushing them to be scholars, clinicians and advocates for policies that address the inequities that exist today. It is an honor to be a part of this organization.”

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking presentation exploring the complex clinical issues that arise in working with men across diverse practice settings. Designed for social work practitioners, clinicians, faculty, researchers, and students, this session will examine how masculinity, trauma, relationships, identity, culture, and social expectations influence men’s mental health and help-seeking behaviors. Participants will explore evidence-informed approaches to engaging men in therapy, addressing shame, emotional expression, fatherhood, interpersonal violence, sexual orientation and gender diversity, aging, and resilience. The presentation will also consider how clinicians can challenge restrictive gender norms while promoting culturally responsive, strengths-based, and trauma-informed practice.Attendees will have an opportunity to engage the speakers and leave with practical clinical strategies, current research insights, and teaching ideas that can be applied in both direct practice and social work education.

Autistic people of all ages experience high rates of chronic pain conditions (GI conditions, migraine, fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndromes), yet there is very limited research about their experiences or how they navigate the healthcare system. In this study, Laura and her research team will use an innovative form of qualitative interview, narrative portraiture analysis, to understand the trajectories of autistic people with managed and unmanaged chronic pain, and speak to experts about how to create a psychosocial intervention to support autistic people managing chronic pain.

Mark your calendar! This year’s conference brings together and creates a space for black scholars, social workers, students, and community leaders to come together to reflect, heal, and envision new possibilities. This year’s theme—”relationships” and the importance of their many dimensions—explores the ways family, community, and connection shape health, wellbeing, and resilience. The journeys and leadership of those who engage in this work reflect the heart of this theme, highlighting how mentorship, solidarity, and collective belief play a vital role in personal and professional growth. Voices that speak to these experiences resonate deeply—encouraging students preparing to enter this vital work, affirming practitioners who walk alongside individuals and communities each day, and reminding us all of the strength that comes from standing together. This gathering is grounded in a shared commitment to equity, justice, and healing, and offers an opportunity to connect with a community united by these values.

This is more than a conference.
It’s a space for connection.
A space for reflection.
A space for healing.
A space to imagine—and build—new possibilities.

Congratulations to Professor Michael Fabricant on the publication of your new book entitled, “The Struggle for Public Goods in the Shadow of Fascism: Hope at Dusk.”

Professor Fabricant's book examines the present diminishment of democracy through the prism of intensifying conflict between market freedom and citizen rights. The fate of democracy is at the center of the book’s exploration of the decline of the welfare state and rise of radical right politics.
