ASGW Statements

ASGW decides to cancel its 2024 Conference due to recent Florida state legislation which endangers the dignity and safety of its members.

ASGW stands with the people of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona.

ASGW stands with other ACA divisions in Affirming Choice. We unconditionally affirm that, as mental health professionals, we believe in the empowerment of women and that all human beings have rights to privacy and personal decision-making about their own bodies.

We are devastated by the recent senseless murders of grocery shoppers in Buffalo, NY, churchgoers in Orange County, CA and now schoolchildren and teachers in Uvalde, TX. We are grieving for their lives violently cut short and heartbroken for their shocked families.
