Attendees will gain an overview of eligibility requirements, the application process, common reasons claims are denied, and what applicants can do to strengthen their case. Michael also discusses the role healthcare providers, social workers, case managers, and advocates play in supporting individuals throughout the disability claims process.

Whether you're new to Social Security Disability or looking for a refresher, this session provides practical knowledge and actionable insights to help you better serve your clients and answer common questions with confi dence.

October 22nd-25th 

Join us for our annual self-care retreat for social workers - our version of "Camp"! 

No camp experience necessary! 

Our 5th annual "Camp" event takes place at a beautiful location in Northern MN with warm cozy cabins and lodges, a gorgeous lake view, great food, and tons of fun activities (all which count as CEU's)! At least 10 CEUS will be offered - attend as much or as little as you like! Join us after work on Thursday (or Friday) through brunch on Sunday - invite your social work friends or come alone and plan to meet new ones - and we promise you'll leave feeling refreshed and ready to return again!

Your comfort and safety are the top priority for this event. In particular, we want to ensure a safe experience for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, diverse ability status, and all identities. We strive to provide an experience that is anti-racist and reflective of our professional and organizational values. This includes (but is not limited to) accessible rooms and spaces, and the opportunity to choose your level of engagement in all activities.

Camp NASW-MN lodging is in indoor, heated cabins; cabins have shared bedrooms with beds that sleep one person and/or bunk beds that sleep one person per bunk.
