The 2025 Annual ISSWA Conference is on Friday, November 14th, 2025, from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM (Check-in at 8:00 AM).
Join us for a powerful day of professional development focused on 'Shining a Light on Hidden Dangers: Addressing Cyberbullying and Human Trafficking in the School Setting.' This year’s conference features two dynamic learning sessions designed to equip school social workers with practical tools to address urgent threats facing students today. In the morning session, Trooper Rodney Larson will lead an in-depth discussion on cyberbullying and online safety, incorporating scenarios to apply and reinforce key lessons. In the afternoon session, Ruth Eley, LMSW will present on ‘Human Trafficking: It is Here & Thriving in Iowa,’ covering its prevalence among youth, identifying risk factors and warning signs, and providing effective strategies to create safety for youth and our communities.
Don't miss this opportunity to grow your knowledge, strengthen your practice, and join fellow professionals committed to student safety and well-being.
