Silberman Center for Sexuality & Gender
The Silberman Center for Sexuality and Gender (SCSG) is the first scholarly center in the United States focusing on sexuality and gender housed within a school of social work. It is based at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, (CUNY) – New York’s oldest and largest public school of social work. Building upon a core institutional mission of academic excellence in the public interest, SCSG engages and develops research, educational, and community-based projects and programs to inform socially just understandings of sexuality and gender. The Center is a vital hub for the creation of sex-positive, gender-inclusive social work practice and research environments and a more inclusive, informed society from the individual to the public policy levels. https://silbermanscsg.com/
National Center for Child Welfare Excellence
The NCCWE takes a broad child welfare perspective, embracing an interest in policies and practices that promote the well-being, safety, and permanency of all children and youths while devoting special attention to those facing significant challenges in their environments. Our perspective also encompasses their families and their communities, recognizing that we cannot improve circumstances for children and youths without engaging families and these key systems of care. http://www.nccwe.org
