Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (P.T.S.S.) is a theory that explains the etiology of many of the adaptive survival behaviors in African American communities throughout the United States and the Diaspora.

The NYS Chapter is starting their Social Work Month planning early and they want to hear from you.

We’ll revisit what makes social workers unique in their approach to helping others and touch on the essential components of bringing our social work self into our work emphasizing self-care, self-compassion, and self-awareness.

This year’s conference theme is "Social Workers—Essential and Prepared," which sheds light on the fact that Social Workers are essential to community well-being.
