A Message from Executive Director
Walter Kalman
In 2005, NASW-NJ partnered with the schools of social work and the Department of Children and Families in New Jersey to form the Baccalaureate Child Welfare Education Program (BCWEP). BCWEP was designed to help improve outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system in our state.
The article below from Youth Today outlines national and state statistics on why having BSWs and MSWs working in foster care impacts case worker turnover and the children in the system.
NASW-NJ is proud to continue its collaboration with BCWEP which celebrated its 10th Anniversary last spring.
Social Work Education Key to Retaining Foster Care Workers, Advocates Say
Antoinette Rucker was 16 years old and looking forward to moving from a foster care group home to a permanent placement with her older sister. But the process dragged on for almost a year, Rucker said, because the social worker handling her transition went on maternity leave and didn't come back.
That meant Rucker had to get to know a new caseworker, who was learning Rucker's case at the same time, slowing the process. Altogether, Rucker had three different caseworkers during the transition, she said.

NASW-NJ CE COURSES
NOW APPROVED FOR BOTH NJ AND NY!
Here's what you need to know if you're licensed in both New Jersey and New York:
* Effective September 23, 2015 all continuing education courses offered by NASW-NJ, NASW-NYC and NASW-NY are accepted in both states (unless it is marked otherwise).
* Courses that are marked as approved by the CE Approval Collaborative are not accepted for New York social work licenses. This is not the same as being offered by NASW-NJ.
Important note for all those licensed in New Jersey:
* If taking a course in NJ provided by a presenter/organization (other than an NASW chapter), check with that presenter/organization to find out if that course itself was approved by a social work licensing board, the CE Approval Collaborative or ASWB.
- If the
course was submitted and approved, then it will count for your NJ license.
- If the
provider was approved to conduct any courses they want without having to submit course-by-course, then the courses they are providing will not be accepted in NJ.
