While both our profession and the need for services continues to grow, social work salaries have not kept pace. This social work month and throughout 2024, NASW-MN will be focused on legislation and initiatives that empower and support the social work profession and improve their bottom line. Join our Executive Director and Board President-Elect for an interactive discussion regarding ways to increase compensation in all areas of practice, including paid internships for students.
