Second Annual National Conference on Social Work With and For Men

"Helping Men Express and Meet Their Needs: Implications for Practice"

When: Thursday and Friday April 30 - May 1, 2009
Where: The Bryant Conference Center, Tuscaloosa, AL

Men are commonly thought of as providers or supporters of others, and often their own needs are dismissed or devalued. Men share experiences and challenges simply because of their expectations and the expectations of others.

This interdisciplinary meeting focuses on how practitioners can assist men to address the challenges they face in the normal course of living, growing, and interacting with others. Educators, practitioners, and researchers will present and discuss best practice models and research findings having direct clinical implications.

Professor, Baylor University
