Join NASW for a special Student Series session exploring social work practice across the Pacific Islands. This webinar will feature a panel of social work leaders from Hawai‘i and Guam who will discuss how traditional healing practices, cultural values, and community-based approaches shape effective and ethical social work. Participants will gain insight into culturally responsive engagement, the importance of place and identity, and pathways for students and emerging professionals interested in island-based practice.
