Human worth and dignity

To commemorate the Social Work Unit 25th Silver Jubilee anniversary celebration, the Social Work Unit at UWI St. Augustine incorporated a two-day conference and exposition, “Promoting Human Worth and Dignity: Social Work and Social Development in Trinidad,” in March.

Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the conference dealt with topics like the challenges that social workers encounter; the need for social workers in all areas as an intervention to reduce crime and other social issues; the history of social work from an international perspective, and the strides that social work has made and the contributions of women.
