Who is this Retreat for


This experience is for social workers to step away and take time for themselves,  because you deserve rest just as much as the people you care for.


Whether you’re looking to reset, reconnect, or simply be in a space where you don’t have to pour into anyone else, this retreat creates that space for you.


You’ll leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and supported… because you are more than your title.

Meet the Board

What began in the car of founder, Marisela Milian, after a particularly overwhelming day—thinking, “If only I had someone to talk to who just gets it,” has since grown into something much larger. Founded in 2025, The Social Work Room Inc.. has engaged over 1,000 social workers through both virtual and in-person gatherings. It has evolved into a space where social workers across the United States are finding community, often sharing, “I found my people.” This growth is a testament to the critical need for intentional spaces that honor not only the field, but, most importantly, the individuals who uphold it and the lived experiences within it.
