[close] Chapters of Change" is a book club for social workers dedicated to exploring literature that inspires empathy, promotes social justice, and enhances our understanding of the diverse communities we serve. We will delve into thought-provoking stories and insightful, evidence-based non-fiction, using each book as a stepping stone to deeper conversations and meaningful action in our field. As a "baby" social worker, my goal is that our discussions are a form of support for each other. I hope they bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering fresh perspectives or continued education on the challenges and opportunities we encounter daily in our work. I believe in the power of shared reading experiences to foster personal growth, strengthen our professional skills, and build a supportive community of like-minded social work individuals! Join me as we turn the pages toward a more informed, compassionate, and equitable world, one chapter at a time. Whether you're looking to expand your knowledge, connect with others in social work, or simply enjoy a good book, "Chapters of Change" offers a space for learning, reflection, and good company!

[close] "We always benefit from coming together, sharing stories, and engaging in a community of peers who understand what we are going through." That's what licensed psychologist, author, and executive director at Summit Center Dan Peters said about participating in Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted's conference. More often than not, people are lone ships in a sea of so-called “normal” parents and families, navigating for themselves or that special gifted child or person in their lives. That's just one reason this Goodreads group exists. It's open to parents, educators, counseling professionals, and anyone who's seeking information. Discuss and share books and resources about gifted and giftedness. There is no reason any of us ever have to feel as if we are doing anything alone.
