The struggle continues ... the 80's call for new approaches to new and old challenges. For NABSW members and all Black human service workers, the struggle must include creative productivity in a variety of arenas. We must fight cutbacks in services, resist the rising tide of conservatism and repression, and assist in the development of coping and liberation strategies. We must cement linkages with our brothers and sisters in Africa and the Caribbean. It is the purpose and goal of this conference to analyze and mobilize action in pivotal subject areas.

NABSW is eager to welcome you to this conference, which will continue NABSW's tradition of offering Black human service workers, volunteers and other concerned Black people dynamic experiences in learning, teaching and communications at the nation's largest Black social welfare conference.

Workshops and Research Presentation

The workshops, research presentations and International Institute described on the following pages offer programs of interest to educators and students, direct service providers, supervisors and administrators, volunteers, community workers, and consumers in all types of social service settings. Concerned and involved Black people outside the social service arena will also find offerings which will enhance their participation in the struggle for Black liberation.

Workshops which will be presented in two or more sessions are outlined first, and participants are requested to attend all sessions of a series if one of these workshops is selected.

Admission to workshops will be by ticket (and your conference badges). Space will be reserved for ticket-holders only 15 minutes after the opening time, enabling interested participants to enter "closed-out" workshops if vacant seats remain after that time.

TIMES. In selecting your workshops and other presentations, please ensure that you do not choose items which are scheduled for the same time, or overlapping times. THE REGISTRATION COMMITTEE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO RESOLVE REGISTRATION CONFLICTS.
