To answer all these questions and more, we’ve created a Student Practice & Career hub – FREE for AASW members. It’s your one-stop, with resources covering everything from networking and professional development to articles on mental health, supervision and case management.

The AASW has a new campaign aimed at raising the profile of social work, advocating on behalf of social workers, busting myths about the profession, and increasing public awareness of the invaluable contributions social workers make to our communities.

Credentials are crucial as they provide formal recognition of skills and experience, signaling a social worker’s expertise to employers, clients, and the community.  

Our new Credentials Guide offers all the details, tips, and tricks you need to apply for an AASW credential and understand its benefits.
