The theme for this year's conference is Family Protection: Behind and Beyond the Crisis. It serves as a catalyst for critical thinking and creative approaches to better serve the needs of families affected by violence in times of global or national crises.

​The 2020 theme "Powering up for the next decade" signifies the importance of Social Work leaders in initiating actions or service transformation to meet evolving needs and challenges. This is especially significant in view of the new normal brought about by the evolving COVID-19 situation.
