Children's Issues Group

The Children’s Issues Group aims to identify the broader causes of social problems within the local and state community, and to actively work toward the elimination of these causes of dysfunction through advocating change of the social service system itself. Furthermore, we work collaboratively with other child advocacy groups to address issues, as well as work with the SLAC committee to improve social institutions, systems, legislation, and practice that impose hardship on children and families. All social workers who work with or in the interest of children are welcome to attend these meetings.

The Children's Issues Group is currently on hiatus. Keep up to date by visiting our Events Calendar!
