This project is supported in part by Grants #M01HP31336 and #T98HP33413 from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The conference contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of HRSA or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

These grants are intended to educate social work students and community providers about behavioral health care and substance misuse prevention and treatment and to better equip social workers to provide integrated, inter-disciplinary services to vulnerable and under-served populations, particularly in the Bronx and surrounding communities.

We would like to thank the many members of the Lehman College Social Work Department, including faculty and staff, and the larger Lehman College community for their tireless support and assistance in preparing for this conference.

In addition, we recognize the 44 students who have worked all year on their community projects.

Our deepest gratitude is extended to the panelist, presenters, and workshop leaders.
