Check out our Regional Pages and Ask a Group Work Expert Page
These pages are now open — and ready for your input!
As part of our goal to foster an international conversation in social work with groups, we have launched Regional Pages from contributors around the world. Regional Pages from Scotland and Brooklyn are already active, and pages from Namibia and India are under consideration. Developed locally, Regional Pages can share perspectives, groupwork narratives, training and education reports, practice strategies, and other creative content. Regional Pages can be from geographic areas or cultural communities. AASWG Chapters and members are invited to propose a Regional Page about group work in their own community. We will provide web assistance, through easy WordPress software, and are happy to provide all the information and back-up needed. Email cohen5@adelphi.edu to get started.
Our new Ask a Group Work Expert Page is organized to respond to questions about group work practice and education. Do you have a question about group work practice, a group work dilemma, or practice issues? If so, we have group work experts from around the globe who are looking forward to your questions and to engaging in public dialogue around group work issues
As part of the Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, an International Organization (www.aaswg.org), the Global Group Work Project engages social work educators and practitioners from diverse geographic regions and cultures in sharing perspectives, experiences, and commitment to social work with groups. We hope that this site will provide a forum for collaboration and research. Our goal is to continue to encourage expansion of practice and teaching social work with groups in class and field, ultimately leading to greater opportunities for effective and powerful social work group membership throughout the world. We greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions as we develop this site further! We would love to hear your ideas for interactive features, activities and content – Please post comments on this site, or reply directly to cohen5@adelphi.edu.
