Two New Resources Available to Our Members!
 
Financial Social Work: A Growing Specialty for Clinical Social Workers: Financial social work (FSW) is a growing social work specialty that uses financial therapy as an intervention to address the emotional and behavioral components of handling finances. Clinical social workers use financial therapy to address the psychosocial challenges patients experience because of their financial circumstances.
 
NASW Resources for Clinical Social Workers in Private Practice : This flyer outlines NASW resources for clinical social workers in private practice including: billing and practice related topics, advocacy, NASW Press, specialty practice sections and more.
NASW’s newest member benefit—MyNASW Community—is transforming how NASW members connect, share ideas and resources, and stay up to date.

This exclusive members-only community allows social workers to log in with their socialworkers.org username and password to post questions, seek advice, and participate in discussions specific to their practice or career stage.

In addition to discussions, members can add contacts and send private messages, networking with their peers both locally and across the country. Using the directory’s advanced search, find colleagues by Chapter, practice area, work setting, job function, or organization type. Each member controls what parts of their profile are visible to others by adjusting their privacy settings.
Another feature of the MyNASW Community is a searchable resource library, where members can upload and browse documents and digital resources in variety of formats.

"MyNASW is your go-to for all things social work," said Jennifer Watt, director of membership at NASW’s National Office. "It allows members who may not have access in person, to create a network of their peers and be included in the latest discussions.” 

Currently, MyNASW Community offers four discussion forums: 
• All Member Forum – open to all active NASW members
• Children, Youth, and Schools - for members of the Child Welfare; Children, Adolescents,
and Young Adults; and School Social Work Specialty Practice Sections
• Clinical Social Work, Aging, and Health – for members of the Aging; Alcohol, Tobacco and
Other Drugs; Health; Mental Health; and Private Practice Specialty Practice Sections
• Social Justice, Administration, and Courts - for members of the Administration/Supervision;
Social and Economic Justice & Peace; and Social Work and the Courts Specialty Practice
Sections
