Who Should Join CASSW?
The world of school social work is huge and it is hard to not only stay on top of new laws, trends, and research but it can be easy to feel isolated. We have everything you need in once place with news, blogs, forums, community groups, and seminars that not only keep you in the loop but provide you an effective way to meet others working in the field of school social work. You will get to hear from others about best practices that have worked for them and also have the opportunity to ask questions that get at the heart of what you are trying to accomplish at your site. If you identify yourself as being any of the below school or school district employees, a membership to CASSW will add to your toolbox to help your students and school or district environment.
