From the President:
Welcome to #teamKSSWA!
Welcome Back to the 2020-2021 School Year!
The Kansas School Social Worker Association welcomes you back to school. Last spring and the beginning of this school year brought about unprecedented events. These events have challenged and impacted each and every one of us. COVID-19 and the continued racial inequities created anxiety and so much uncertainty in our world of education. School Social Workers across the country have acknowledged their feelings, reached out for support and resources and have demonstrated exceptional leadership. As President of KSSWA, I am proud of how Kansas School Social Workers never wavered in their commitment to the students and families across our state.
KSSWA is the state association that supports you by advocating at the local, state and national level for your needs. I believe a School Social Worker in every school building is a step in the right direction. Don’t you agree? Many of you have caseloads that are just not manageable, are isolated without proper supervision and resources, and/or do not feel supported by your administration. KSSWA offers networking, professional development and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
September 25th KSSWA is offering CEU’s for our workshop - Human Trafficking/Identifying & Supporting Student at Risk. We are excited to hear from a variety of speakers which include Diane Clark, Author of She’s On Her Own. Please join us! Registration is on the website.
