Professional Development
SWSA-Leth is dedicated to the students of the southern region social work program and have committed to seeking best practice opportunities and provide opportunities for th students to build on their professional development through various training session and presentations.
The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships, and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well being.
