Interest Groups

What began as a pilot project when CASW agreed to support the creation of a Health Interest Group has served as a model for the development of two new initiatives: the creation of a Children Issues Interest Group and the initial steps for the creation of the Aboriginal Social Workers Interest Group.

The purpose of the interest groups is to provide a forum to advocate for interests of social work practice and to advise the national association on issues pertaining to policy, practice, education and research. Groups are composed of one representative for each CASW provincial/territorial member organization, the CASW Executive Director or alternate, and a CASW Board Liaison.
