  to facilitate access to needed health services.\n\nDr. Rebecca Beeler\, D

 literacy among Medicare beneficiaries\, lessons learned from engagement wi
 th community coalition partners\, and tips for social workers seeking to u
 se coalition approaches to advance their own health system goals.\n\nDr. D
 eMarreo Tidwell\, DSW 2025\, will discuss his community engagement toolkit
  for overcoming barriers for Black families needing mental health services

 isseminate these resources to support other practitioners’ efforts\, ins
 pire efforts in parallel domains\, and help social workers face challenges
