Approximately 1 hour of advance preparation (reading/viewing) is required so that participants will have the pre-requisite knowledge needed to understand the case and participate in discussion. Advance preparation material and links will be sent to participants 1 week before the event.
Due to the event logistics, the number of spaces for social work participants (limits apply to each professional group) is limited to 30. Social work students and registered social workers from the community are welcome to register.
