Announcements
We are looking for new ACSSW Board Directors. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Susan Elswick at [email protected] for more information.
Here are some helpful updates and resources:
ACSSW provided a formal endorsement for the new bill, the MSWs in Libraries Act, that will fund student internships and support the use of social workers in libraries as a supportive intervention and resource for the community. ACSSW supported this bill with the following quote:
"ACSSW endorses the MSWs in Libraries Act, so social workers can use their skills to work in under-resourced communities."
Mrs. Danica Jones is a volunteer with an after-school learning program for teens. She encouraged her students to study the importance of kids' safety from physical, mental and emotional harm. Through this assignment, one of her students, Joey, identified a resource that he felt would be beneficial to share with others through the ACSSW platform. ACSSW is happy to support empowerment, a sense of self-advocacy, and voice for students across the nation. We want to share the resource Joey mentioned here: https://www.transfinder.com/resources/school-bus-bullying-prevention
