Hello Washington School Social Workers,
Our school year has begun, and those of us who are working in schools are reengaging with our students & families and receiving those with more transitory lives. You make a difference for them: for their full school career, for the months that they are in your school, and sometimes you change the trajectory of their lives. Regardless if advocating for specific children, standing with our families, working at the district level to shift systems, or working at the legislative level you make the difference our profession demands:
NASW Social Work Code of Ethics: Social Workers' Ethical Responsibilities to the Broader Society
Section 6.01-6.04
6.01: “Social workers should promote the general welfare of society, from local to global levels, and the development of people, their communities, and their environments. Social workers should advocate for living conditions conducive to the fulfillment of basic human needs and should promote social, economic, political, and cultural values and institutions that are compatible with the realization of social justice.”
We, as a volunteer led organization of working school social workers, inspire each other, learn together, and renew our efforts to support our organization and profession. We are excited to welcome the University of Washington SMART Center in partnership on supporting our profession, you as practitioners and the next generation of school social workers.
SAVE THE DATE! Our WASSW Fall Conference is October 17-18, 2024 in beautiful Gig Harbor, Pierce County!
Please contact us to learn how you can be a part of WASSW!
In Partnership,
Your WASSW Leadership Team
