Social Work Speaks: NASW Policy Statements, 2006-2009

The new and revised resource is the social worker's guide for policy development. Adopted by the NASW Delegate Assembly in 2005, Social Work Speaks, Seventh Edition, including 22 new statements, addresses an array of issues ranging from affirmative action, child abuse and neglect, disasters, end-of-life-care, HIV and AIDS, people with disabilities, and others. A valuable reference tool, Social Work Speaks can assist individuals with developing organizational responses to policy issues, conducting policy analysis and study, and working in political action coalitions. NASW relies on these policy statements to guide policy advocacy and legal action.
