New Coalition for Social Work and Health Website: A Hub for Transformative Impact
The Coalition for Social Work and Health (CSWH) is proud to announce the launch of our new website, a dynamic platform designed to connect professional organizations, practice leaders, researchers, educators, policymakers, and allies. Our mission is to amplify social work’s impact in transforming healthcare, improving health, and advancing health equity. We invite you to explore our new digital home at www.socialworkandhealth.org.
Our website offers a comprehensive overview of our history and structure, a contact page for inquiries, detailed information on our policy advocacy activities, and a robust resource repository.
Among the many offerings on our new website, we are especially excited to showcase our latest CSWH Shareables. This section of our resource repository provides concise, impactful insights into key areas where social work makes a significant difference. These documents are crafted to support social workers and allies in effectively distributing information and communicating with diverse stakeholders. Feel free to use, share, or adapt any of these materials to suit your needs.
