Boots on the Ground ROUNDTABLE
LiveOn NY’s Boots on the Ground Roundtable (BOTGR) is a virtual supportive solution-driven space for direct aging service professionals and others serving older adults throughout the State. Through our Boots on the Ground Roundtable professionals will obtain and share Innovative ideas, resources, information, and network with other professionals in an effort to stay connected and work collaboratively to continue serving older New Yorkers.
During these meetings, attendees have the opportunity to practice self care, hear a brief presentation on a timely and relevant topic, and connect. *Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) will also have opportunities to earn Continuing Education Contact Hours. However, please note, to be awarded Continuing Education Contact Hour, LMSW or LCSW MUST be present for the whole educational session and complete an evaluation form that includes full name as seen in license, license type (i.e. LMSW or LCSW), and license number.
Please note: We will be recording presentations and it will be available for future reference.
