Thank you for the kind words!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the chat last night and it was great to have you there participating. What are your suggestions for making the chat better? What macro social work topics would you like to see covered?
You’re very welcome Karen! I’m not always able to attend, but I was very happy to be able to be in community with you all last night. And those resources are golden. I plan on sharing them with students in a course I’m teaching next week.
I’ll have to think about ways to improve the chat, and topics that I’d like to see covered. I’m all about the importance of personal work, equity and inclusion, so I know there’s a variety of topics that could come out of their implications for Macro Social Work, but I’m going to think on it.
Also, I’m not sure how the process works, but I’d also like to become a supportive partner to #MacroSW if possible. I already have the website in my blogroll :-)
