| Abstract | "The 13th edition of SOCIAL WORK SPEAKS is a comprehensive and unabridged collection of policies, including those adopted and revised by the NASW Delegate Assembly in 2024. The Delegate Assembly, NASW's key policymaking body, meets every three years. The policy statements set the parameters for NASW's positions and actions on a broad range of public policy and professional issues. SOCIAL WORK SPEAKS is a reference tool that represents the collective thinking of thousands of social workers across all fields of practice. This user-friendly resource can assist in developing organizational responses to policy issues, conducting policy analysis, and working in advocacy coalitions. The 13th edition includes updated policy statements on a wide range of topics, including affirmative action, electoral politics, end-of-life decision making, healthcare, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, social justice, and youth suicide. SOCIAL WORK SPEAKS is a first-rate introductory social policy text that will spark dynamic and valuable debates on public policy and the role of social work in leading change. Social workers who want to be informed and involved in policy analysis, advocacy for social policies, or the formulation of future policy statements will find the 13th edition of SOCIAL WORK SPEAKS an invaluable resource."--Provided by publisher. |
