below for details! 
__________________________________________________
 
The National Association of Social Workers Alaska Chapter is hosting its
Annual Conference next week. Part of the festivities are open to the public;
faith organizations, community members, friends and family are encouraged to
attend. 
 
Monday, October 1
6:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Community Presentation: Dr. Jim Withers, MD
Hear how Jim has changed the face of care to chronically indigent people in
Pittsburgh and how his approach to reaching out to others has affected other
communities nation-wide. Dr. Withers is an internist who teaches medicine at
the Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh. To promote a healing vision of health
care, he began to make nightly visits to men and women sleeping in the
alleys, along the rivers and in the abandoned buildings of Pittsburgh,
culminating in the establishment of Operation Safety Net. 
This presentation is free!
 
Tuesday, October 2
6:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Community Presentation: Merrow
Joan Cullinane
Open to the community - $10 in advance, $12 at the door
Merrow is a one-woman performance piece that is both hilarious and painfully
honest. Anchorage resident Joan Cullinane skewers the behavioral health
world. Told from the perspective of a care provider batttling her own mental
health challenges, Merrow is a humorous and compelling send-up of chaos and
conformity in the field of mental health.
 
Both performances will be downstairs at the Egan Center in downtown
Anchorage. If you have any questions or would like to purchase advance
tickets for Merrow, please contact the Chapter Office at the information
below.
