Board training and support
As part of its mission to provide support to social work regulatory boards, ASWB offers several specialized services to its member boards.
Training for ASWB members
Social work regulators consistently rank ASWB’s specialized training programs as among the most valuable services we offer. Focusing on public protection, ASWB offers training for new regulators, regulatory staff, and leadership. The association’s education meeting, held annually, offers a chance for social work regulators to earn continuing education credit and take a closer look at specialized topics in regulation.
