Mission Statement
The Society for Spirituality and Social Work is a network of social workers and other helping professionals dedicated to spiritually sensitive practice and education. We seek to encourage, honor, and nurture the diverse spiritual paths, resources, and traditions which offer meaning and support to people, including ourselves. We recognize the sacred nature of our healing work. We are committed to justice and respect for those of diverse religious and non-religious spiritual identities in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers. Our events and materials are designed to promote research, development of theory, and dissemination of innovations and best practices related to spirituality in our professions. In our gatherings, we celebrate the values of dignity, interdependence, compassion, respect, peace, justice and connection with the divine.
