The School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA) serves as the national advocate for School Social Workers, promoting their essential role in student success and well-being. SSWAA provides leadership, professional development, and resources to support School Social Workers in addressing the diverse needs of students, families, and schools. Through advocacy efforts, the organization works to influence education policy and elevate the profession at the national level. A representative from the Midwest Council attends SSWAA meetings, actively networking and collaborating with School Social Workers nationwide.
Each year, SSWAA organizes a National Conference in a new city, providing a platform for professional development and networking. The conference features a diverse range of breakout sessions, keynote presentations by nationally recognized leaders, and opportunities to exchange best practices with colleagues from around the world. Attendees can earn CEs while exploring critical issues and skills essential to School Social Work. Between sessions, exhibitors showcase innovative resources, educational services, and essential tools to enhance professional practice.
