It was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the growing need for diverse social workers in this field and to share insights on how they can apply their skills to support older adults, disabled adults and families. Janet Smith LCSW-R, ACSW,C-ASWCM the event organizer and Fordham alum, Melissa McHam Green LMSW, Abenaa Udochi CSA and Melissa Sheehan in a meaningful conversation with students eager to explore their career paths.
