ASGW is briefly reopening its 2024 Conference Call for Proposals! Submissions will be accepted until October 9th, 2023, at 11:59pm EST.

This call for proposals is to fund studies which increase our understanding of group work.  Two grants of up to $1,000 each will be awarded for research projects which meet the criteria.

The Association for Specialists in Group Work is seeking volunteer committee members to serve through the current 2023-2024 term.

ASGW will hold its biennial conference February 9- February 11, 2024, at the One Ocean Resort & Spa in Atlantic Beach, Florida. The conference theme is “Stronger Together: Research, Reinvention, & Reconnection in Group Work.” Group workers around the world have risen to the myriad challenges of the past few years to reimagine ways to build and sustain connection and community. Social justice advocacy has always been at the heart of group work and continues to play a prominent role as we incorporate anti-oppression principles into our collective practice and research. This conference will highlight innovative research, outstanding group practice, and experiential group work in its many forms. 

As the official publication of the Association for Specialists in Group Work, The Journal
for Specialists in Group Work is an indispensable resource for both practitioners and educators
working with groups in clinical, organizational, educational and community settings.
The Journal for Specialists in Group Work is directed toward group work practitioners with a
focus on group work theory, interventions, training, current issues, and research. The group
process is a powerful method for development and change in the individual, the organization,
and the community.
