From the Pen of the Chapter Board President:

Greetings Nevada Social Workers,

 As we are quickly approaching seasonal change, we’re also looking at a post-covid world full of unique challenges and opportunities. The only certainty is uncertainty. As vital servants to society, social workers have the unique skill-sets to help others navigate changing environments.  Social work, as a strengths-based profession, puts the abilities of the individual and their inner-power to overcome above all else. That perspective combined with social worker education, experience, and training amply prepare us to help others in a volatile environment.
