Cuyahoga County Conference on Social Welfare operates as a locally oriented, participatory forum that channels practice-based concerns of social workers and other human service professionals into policy analysis and development. It uses facilitated practice groups to identify issues that arise from day-to-day service settings, laying the groundwork for analyzing, formulating, and advocating for new social policies. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the organization serves Cuyahoga County and the broader Northeast Ohio region, with the aim of strengthening the role of social workers in policy work and examining how economic development relates to human services. It seeks greater collaboration among social workers, other professionals, and clients, and commits to engaging policymakers annually for input and to provide written feedback on conference policy, research, and advocacy recommendations.
