CELEBRATING EXCEPTIONAL NOVA SCOTIA SOCIAL WORKERS At our annual conference we recognize the contributions of social workers in our province. Though the 2020 conference was cancelled, we are still proud to offer congratulations and thanks to all of our annual award recipients.
David William Connors Memorial Award WENDY GREEN | MSW, RSW For three decades, Wendy has practised exemplary trauma informed social work, and provided outstanding treatment for children and families in Nova Scotia. She has tirelessly worked with and advocated for many of our most vulnerable children and families. Wendy has also been integral in setting the stage and assisting in the review and rebuilding of processes that include the child’s voice within our justice system. She also goes above and beyond for the clients she serves. She continues to passionately work with a familycentred lens, both with the IWK and as a private practitioner. Her nominator, Coleen Flynn, tells us that Wendy leads by example within our profession by mentoring, providing consultation, offering sessional instruction at Dalhousie University, and sharing her experience and knowledge within our social work community.
