The Social Work Registry provides a repository for social workers' credential information while serving as a verification source for social work licensing boards.

The Registry lets you establish a permanent file containing primary source records important to your social work career. At your request, this information can be transmitted to any regulatory board to which you may apply for licensure. For more information go to www.aswb.org/registry.shtml

National Network of mental health professionals is providing free mental health services to the U.S. Troops and families affected by the current military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Nearly 5,000 professionals have registered to participate in this critical effort.

National Association of Social Workers(NASW)
Office of Ethics and Professional Review(OEPR)
Ethics Consultation
As a service to members, the OEPR provides ethics consultations for current NASW members. Ethic consultations are a resource for members who are experiencing an ethical dilemma. We do not provide advice or tell members what to do. However, we do guide them through the Code and point them to the areas of the Code that address their concerns. We provide dialogue and considerations that allow members to make ethical decisions. We may also refer members to the appropriate areas if their questions do not appear to be related to ethics but are more related to legal issues or standards of practice.
