West River Symposium 

The NASW-SD West River Symposium convenes social workers, helping professionals, advocates, and students for 1.5 days of collective learning and reflection. Through keynotes, panels, and hands-on practice, we’ll explore ethical, relational care across systems and communities. Centering intergenerational leadership and lived experience, this gathering deepens our capacity to disrupt harmful systems, practice with cultural humility, and honor the responsibility that comes with helping work.
