Social workers provide both voluntary and involuntary services to families in a variety of settings. Parents come to need social work interventions for reasons that often include experiencing some difficulty in raising their children. When a family is in turmoil, parental roles are often disrupted, which may result in a child assuming the responsibilities of a parent and can negatively affect a parent's ability to maintain authority. Learn how role reversal and parentification occurs with detailed techniques and approaches to effectively empower parents and realign family roles.

Obtaining a credential is the next progression in a social worker's professional career. Beyond the educational degree and professional license, credentials are a voluntary pursuit. Voluntary credentials denote professional commitment and achievement and represent a "license plus" feature of certifying knowledge and experience that meets or exceeds excellence in social work at the national level.
- Holders of NASW professional social work credentials and advanced practice specialty credentials become part of the most widely recognized social work organization in the nation.
- Credentialed social workers are recognized as having in-depth knowledge, proven work experience, leadership capacity, competence, and dedication to the social work profession.
- Credential holders agree to a critical review process that strives to measure adherence to the NASW Code of Ethics, NASW Standards for Continuing Professional Education, and national practice standards consistent with the area of specialized social work practice.
- Some employers seek highly credentialed professionals to fill key leadership positions within their organizations and agencies or factor voluntary credentials in their salary scales.
Featured NASW Credentials (MSW Level):
- ACHP-SW – Advanced Certified Hospice & Palliative Social Worker
- C-ASWCM – Certified Advanced Social Work Case Manager
Learn more about NASW credentials.

Last Day to File a Request for an Informal Review is December 1
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) currently is contacting clinical social workers who are Medicare Part B providers who will be receiving a 2018 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) negative payment adjustment beginning January 1, 2018. The 2018 penalty is two percent. If you believe you received a negative payment adjustment letter in error, NASW encourages you to file a request for an informal review by the deadline, December 1, 2017.

Damage to both paper and electronic records may result from flooding, hurricanes, fires, or other natural disasters. However, even in those unfortunate circumstances, a social worker is still required to maintain confidentiality and retain client records for the required period of time. When records have been damaged, reasonable steps must be taken to assess the damage and to salvage or destroy the records, if necessary. Learn steps to take when client records are damaged or destroyed.

 In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), youths (23 years or younger)—who account for almost half the population—are particularly vulnerable to poverty and exclusion from financial markets and intermediaries. In addition, a significant factor in the financial instability of the region appears to be the economic functioning of its youths. In recent years, social work interventions throughout the region have focused on investing in the economic functioning of youths. This study looked at baseline data from one such intervention in Kenya, using the financial capabilities framework to evaluate the factors related to youths' saving behaviors.
 Homelessness is common in rural areas; about 7 percent of the homeless
population lives in rural areas. Access to resources
tends to be more limited in rural or mostly rural areas. There are approximately
14 homeless people on average for every 10,000 people in rural areas,
compared with 29 homeless people out of every 10,000 in urban areas. The same structural factors that contribute to urban homelessness—lack of
affordable housing and inadequate income—also lead to rural homelessness.
Perhaps the most distinguishing factor of rural homelessness, however, is
access to services. Unlike in urban areas, many rural homeless assistance
systems lack the infrastructure to provide quick, comprehensive care to those
experiencing homelessness. Reasons for this difference abound, including
lack of available affordable housing, limited transportation methods, and the
tendency for federal programs to focus on urban areas. In addition, rural
areas tend to have higher rates of poverty, only compounding the risk of
becoming and staying homeless. Because of these barriers, one of the most
important strategies in ending rural homelessness is prevention.

In a world where marriage between individuals of the same sex is increasingly recognized in law, opponents desperately cling to the belief that children raised by gay couples fare worse when deprived of a parent of either gender. The bulk of research just doesn't back this up. And there is a lot of research out there.
