Call for Papers
Special Issue of Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care
Deadline: August 1, 2015
Ethical practice is a hallmark of excellent palliative care that occurs throughout the illness trajectory and at the end of life. A range of bio-psychosocial elements of the illness experience (diagnosis, treatment, caregiving) can raise ethical issues and problems that affect individuals, their caregivers, family members, friends, and health care professionals. For this special thematic issue, manuscripts are encouraged that report on original research, including systematic literature reviews (topics not previously well-covered in current literature) and meta-analyses, policy analysis, case studies with analysis of ethical problems, innovative educational programs and evaluated individual, family and community interventions.

Special Issue of Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions - Substance Use and Violence
Deadline: September 15, 2015
Violence and substance abuse are widespread and interrelated problems that affect the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. Researchers from social work and other disciplines have documented multiple connections between violence and substance use. Much of the early research focused on violence perpetration and alcohol. More recently scholars examine this relationship for a greater variety of substances (e.g. cocaine, and marijuana), wider forms of violence perpetration and victimization (e.g. intimate partner violence/dating violence, sexual assault, community violence, bullying, human trafficking), and populations (e.g. adolescents, adults, community-based samples, clinical samples). Despite growing attention to intersections among these issues, much remains to be learned. Click here for more information.

32nd Annual National Organization of Forensic Social Work (NOFSW) Conference - Forensic Practice: Promoting Social Justice for AllThrough Policy and Practice Reform
August 21-23, 2015 - Arlington, VA
The National Organization of Forensic Social Work joins in solidarity with other professional practice organizations in standing together with widespread communities working to address and dismantle racism. And we grieve the recent events in Ferguson, Cleveland, New York, Phoenix, Saratoga Springs, Sanford, and elsewhere. Because of our unique work with legal systems, we wrestle with their (and thus, our) perpetuation of structural oppression, dis-empowerment, and violence. We also recognize that legal systems can help protect the vulnerable, care for the maltreated, and advocate for the voiceless. So, it is in this vein that we stand with those working towards promoting just, anti-racist, and empowering change. Click here for more information.
