Advocacy, Equity and Practice in the Age of Covid-19

Saturday, October 17 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm 

We will discuss how the Covid-19 Pandemic has affected our practice with our clients and look at how the pandemic has influenced the equitable access to mental health services in our country. Examining how our advocacy can impact both our clients and our professional well-being will help us become more effective communicators to influence both the public and legislators about the importance of the services we provide to the well-being of our country.

We will hear from Pam Metz Kasemeyer, JD., Maryland Lobbyist; and Sue Rowland, Virginia lobbyist; Margot Aronson, LICSW and Adele Natter, LICSW, LCSW-C, legislative Co-Chairs for DC; Judy Ratliff, LCSW and Wayne Martin, LCSW, legislative Co-Chairs for Virginia; Judy Gallant, LCSW-C, Maryland Chair and Director of Legislation and Advocacy.

Special Guest: Laura W. Groshong, LICSW, Director of Policy and Practice, Seattle, Washington
