About the Society for Social Work and Research.
Since 1994, the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) has empowered a collaborative community dedicated to advancing transformative social work science. As a strategic hub, we unite scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers, and community partners.
We champion a diverse array of methodological approaches and establish interdisciplinary alliances to confront society's most significant challenges while fostering an atmosphere where mentorship, pioneering research, and meaningful conversation flourish.
Join A Thriving Community Dedicated To Advancing Social Work Science.

We empower communities and strengthen social programs by actively promoting the translation of research into practical applications.
