| NASW-FL's Statement on the Occupy Movement Each day, in their work with
individuals, families, and communities, social workers see firsthand
the devastating costs and consequences of poverty and unemployment.
Joblessness and economic insecurity contribute to the incidence
of mental illness, family violence, suicide, substance abuse,
crime, and diminished capacity for healthy family and community
functioning. It is this knowledge and experience that gives
the social work profession a special responsibility to advocate
for income, employment, and social support policies that promote
the economic justice and social well-being of all members of
society. NASW-FL supports the implementation of broad social,
economic, and political actions to end poverty and the vast
inequalities in wealth and income, and supports efforts to engage
the public in understanding that it is in everyone’s interest
to reduce economic inequalities. |

Member Survey Results
Beginning in March 2011, the National Association of Social Workers, Florida Chapter (NASW-FL) conducted a statewide membership survey to assess member demographic and salary information as well as attitudes regarding NASW-FL and general comments about NASW-FL and social work. The last NASW-FL survey was conducted in 2000. A Task Force was comprised of Joyce Lampert, LCSW, Jane Roberts, PhD, LCSW, Mitch Rosenwald, PhD, LCSW and Gary Virgin, MSW. In conjunction with NASW-FL staff and the Executive Committee, the Task Force created and distributed the survey, analyzed the results, and wrote a comprehensive report. A full copy of the 2011 Membership Survey Results is available to all NASW-FL members. Send an e-mail with your mailing address to naswfl@naswfl.org to have one sent to you. |
