 Mission Statement of AASWG The Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, Inc. (AASWG), An International Professional Organization, is a not-for-profit organization of group workers, group work educators, and friends of group work who support its program of advocacy and action for professional practice, education, research, training and writing about social work with groups. Within this group work context, we believe in the value and importance of diversity to enrich and strengthen our work and its relevance in the broad social environment. We affirm that we aspire to provide equitable opportunities for participation for all members, and that all aspects of the organization will be characterized by respect for, inclusion, and representation of people across all aspects of social identity. Committed to social justice, AASWG gives particular attention to people systemically disadvantaged by the power differential inherent in oppressive social structures. (Adopted June 2004) As group workers we believe that our common ground unites us and our differences enrich us. The opportunities for collaborative learning on-line, at local Chapter events and International Symposia make this Association an invaluable resource to the global groupwork community. You are invited to learn more about group work and the resources and activities of the AASWG. Become a member today!
