BIPOC Holding Space is a statewide support group for BIPOC social workers to seek support, validation and encouragement during these turbulent times. Please not that this is not a therapeutic support group. This year we are partnering with the National Association of Black Social Workers Columbus to host these events. Some events will be held in person in Columbus, and some will be held virtually so that all social workers from across the state can attend. This specific event will be held in-person.

BIPOC Social Workers who are members of NASW Ohio and non-members are welcome to join. 

NASW Ohio will provide appetizers for attendees, attendees are welcome to purchase their own meals and beverages if they would like. 

There is no cost to attend.
