2019 SYMPOSIUM THEME

Literally and figuratively, barriers of all kinds have become omnipresent in today's global political and social climate. Barriers that keep people out, barriers that keep people in, barriers that separate people from families and communities, and above all barriers in hearts and minds that prevent people from seeing each other with compassion in all their humanity and diversity. We see these barriers being erected all over the world. One of the tasks of social group work is to dismantle these barriers using the venues of activism, community organizing, as well as group work in schools, mental health and health care settings, the criminal justice system and law enforcement along with other institutions in urban, rural, and suburban locations in order to help people live fully realized lives by building relationships and strengthening global communities.
