Hello Valued WASSW Members,
Summer! We have all worked so hard for a well deserved break. We hope you have time with people, pets, places and projects that fill you up and strengthen your health and well-being.
And, as the events in our nation and world surround and impact us, hold to the impact that YOU have on the students, staff and families that you work with. Know that WASSW stands firm in commitment to our social work ethics and values: by assessing systems and policies, by empowering individuals and communities and by continuing to promote social justice. We stand with you. Join our efforts to amplify your and our impact.

Regardless if you advocate for specific children, stand with families, work at the district level to shift systems, or work 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 continue our partnership with the University of Washington SMART Center to support our profession, you as practitioners and the next generation of school social workers.
Please contact us to learn how you can be a part of WASSW! Check out information on our teams and opportunities and tell us what you want from a conference and what our advocacy goals should be.
Warmly,
Your All-Volunteer WASSW Leadership Team
