We know how difficult this year has been for many of you, as such the NASW-NV chapter has decided to revamp our fall offering to allow us to give back to you, the NASW-NV member. That's why we are excited to announce the fall event will be $10.00 for members of NASW-NV and the cost of membership to NASW-NV +$10.00 for for residents of Nevada nonmembers. 

*NASW members who are not a member of the Nevada Chapter can attend for the discounted rate of $99.00, Non-Members of NASW who are not residents of Nevada can attend for the cost of $246.00.

This year’s  2020 NASW-Nevada Chapter Conference will be taking place on Friday, October 23rd, 2020 in a new virtual format. Meet with other social work professionals from around the state to earn up to 6 CEUs (including ethics) toward your license renewal in our virtual platform. Engage with Nevada's vendor and social services in our interactive virtual exhibit hall and most importantly connect with your peers at a time we could all use a little more supportive interaction.

Implicit Bias in the Manifestation of Trauma
Everyone has implicit biases. It is important to become mindful of how they can show up and impact our work with others. In this interactive session, we will explore the dynamics of implicit bias and its impact on decision-making in behavioral health spaces. This series will challenge you to reflect on and become more aware of your own biases and grapple with the concepts of prejudice, bias, microaggressions and stereotypes. We will examine strategies to break the biases that show up in our work with clients and communities and advance equitable outcomes through trauma-informed, culturally-responsive services!
