NPF Chapter Leadership Conference in Houston.

Roll call time social workers!  Who is headed to the NPF Chapter Leadership Conference in Houston in December?

After missing last year's conference, I'm excited to go this year.  I know Arlene D'Alli from Duke is going and we both hope that social work is well represented at the conference.  I think it would be great if we can meet up as a group as we did 2 years ago in Houston. 

Looking forward to seeing you all in Houston!

HD genetics testing assessment form

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have a form or format they utilize when interviewing patients coming to clinic for genetics testing for HD?  If you do and you can share it, I would love to see it.  Thanks.

World Parkinson Congress

I heard the World Parkinson Congress in Glasgow was a great success.  How many Social Workers attended?  If you did attend let us know how it was and how Social Work was represented.  And.....I'm jealous. :-)
