Today, Mary and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet new friends and colleagues from the University of Illinois School of Social Work and Fu Jen Catholic University in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

We truly enjoyed our conversations, sharing ideas on a variety of topics, and giving Dr. Wu, Dr. Chuang, and their colleagues a tour of the Champaign County Children’s Advocacy Center.

It is always inspiring to connect with professionals who share the same commitment to protecting and supporting children and families. Thank you for spending time with us today. We look forward to seeing you all again and continuing to learn from one another! University of Illinois School of Social Work
