SSWA Mission Statement

We are the future and current social work practitioners who are dedicated to promote social justice, diversity, advocacy, and equality for all individuals. We work to fight oppression on groups and individuals through use of empowerment and raising awareness.

SSWA Goals
  1. Volunteer work and engaging in service projects.
  2. Goals: Raise awareness about diversity
  3. Network: Empower students by participating in LEAD day
  4. Promote social justice in Lake County
  5. Dues=$5.00 monthly / hr. meetings.

Bachelor of Social Work students have organized a Student Association on the IU Northwest Campus and membership is open to any social work undergraduate or graduate student.  The School recognizes the student organization as an integral component of professional education. Although the organization is autonomous, the BSW Program Director serves as the SSWA advisor and facilitator for the organization in order to encourage group identification and student participation in the formal decision-making process of the School.

BSW and MSW students elected by their peers participate in IU Northwest’s faculty as a whole standing committee. Through their representatives students contribute to the formulation and modification of policy affecting academic and student affairs, and participate in the ongoing evaluation of the social work programs.

IU School of Social Work is headquartered on the IUPUI campus with locations on 8 IU Campuses. The school also has the Department of Labor Studies

IU School of Social WorkPartnerships

Indiana Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership

The Indiana University School of Social Work works in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Child Services to better protect children at risk of abuse and neglect. A key to this collaboration is the creation of the Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership. The Partnership is designed to provide high quality social work education and statewide training for public child welfare employees.

Center for Social Health & Well-being

The Center for Social Health and Well-being is to support and conduct research, evaluation and training programs, in consort with external partners, that can address human and social needs faced by individuals, organizations, communities, and societies.

National Child Welfare Workforce Initiative

Our aim is to help you to understand the Indiana Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Fellowship Program and programs associated with it. We are excited about the practice of child welfare in Indiana.

Institute for Juvenile Court and Corrections Research

Rather than relying solely on textbooks or lectures, faculty, students and researchers will be able to use IJCCR's video library for a unique firsthand experience that is second only to onsite training.
