From the President:

Welcome to #teamKSSWA!

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share that the Kansas School Social Work Association (KSSWA) is experiencing significant growth in membership and is increasingly recognized as a strong advocate for the school social work profession. We invite you to be part of this movement.  Membership options are available for students, regular members, associates, and retirees.

KSSWA serves as the state association dedicated to supporting Kansas school social workers by advocating for their needs at local, state, and national levels. Our collaborative Mental Health Awareness Day in Topeka, which involves school psychologists and counselors, exemplifies our commitment to this mission. 

Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting your career, your voice, ideas, and enthusiasm are invaluable. The networking and professional development opportunities KSSWA provides are exceptional! 

We are currently seeking a Membership Chair, Regional Representatives for the North East, North West, and South West Regions. Additionally, we have opportunities for student and faculty involvement on the Board for those enrolled and/or teaching at the collegiate and graduate level! If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to ksswa.ks.info@gmail.com. Our board is passionate, dedicated, and eager to make a meaningful impact this year for both our profession and the children, youth, and families we serve.

It is an honor to represent you as the President of KSSWA, and I look forward to what we can achieve together.

Warm regards,

Tracie Chauvin, LSCSW
President, Kansas School Social Work Association (KSSWA)
