Free Webinar – Help is Not on the Way: Reimagining Family Well-Being
Wednesday, October 15 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM | Zoom

Mandated reporting is often framed as a safeguard, but for many families experiencing poverty, it can lead to harm and systemic injustice. Join Laura Sullivan, MSW, LISW-S, Synamon Rosemond, and Molly Rampe Thomas, MSW, LISW-S, for a thought-provoking 1.5 CEU webinar that challenges assumptions and explores new approaches to supporting family well-being.

Two very important bills in Ohio need your attention and support! Some local governments have stepped up and taken action to ban conversion therapy, but the practice is still legal across much of the state. HB 300 and SB 71 would change that. For these bills to become law, they have to have committee hearings, which have not been scheduled yet. By contacting House and Senate leadership, you can make a difference!
