The cross-currents of professional and personal identity in late-career catch many good social workers off-guard. This conference will orient social workers currently in the second half of their careers to the important developmental challenges of late-career life. All social workers serving mature adults will learn from this developmental focus - as well and our clients anticipate and prepare for transition to the new autonomy, identity hazards and opportunities of this tricky period - with or without continuing 'work.' We will challenge our social traditions of bearing late-career stresses in isolation, in favor of a more communal model of growth.

Panel Speakers:

• Leslie Bass, LICSW, works in private practice, and previously served as adjunct faculty in clinical practice at Simmons College and Boston College Schools of Social Work.
• Joan Ditzion, LICSW, is the co-founder and co-author of Our Bodies Ourselves.
