MyNASW is NASW’s member-exclusive online community designed to help social workers connect, collaborate, and engage with peers across specialties, practice settings, and career stages. MyNASW features specialty communities, discussion forums, engagement tools, and enhanced networking features that make it easier to connect with peers who share similar interests and experiences.
Members engage with MyNASW to seek guidance from experienced colleagues, share their own expertise, expand their professional network, or find support from others who understand the realities of their social work practice. We’re thrilled to overview the revamped MyNASW online community, tailored even more to member needs! Here are some of the exciting new features that the community now includes:
Interactive Social Feed: At the heart of the MyNASW upgrade lies the centralized social feed, a dynamic hub where members can share insights, engage in meaningful discussions, and foster connections. The new interactive feed is your personalized window into the vibrant NASW community. Members can now like posts directly from the feed and see the number of replies for each post, and have the option to now follow posts of interest.
Enhanced Navigation: New quick link features make it easier to seamlessly navigate to communities in MyNASW, access curated content tailored to interests, and stay abreast of discussions that resonate. The quick links section enables members to view announcements made by NASW, access resources shared by members, and create a network of member contacts. It's all just a click away!
Community Engagement Leaderboard: The new dynamic engagement leaderboard spotlights members who contribute meaningfully to our community. By acknowledging and showcasing members who actively contribute to discussions, share insights, and collaborate with peers, the leaderboard not only fosters a culture of appreciation but also inspires others to engage and elevate the collective learning experience.
Specialized Ribbons: Members can now proudly showcase their unique specialties, ranging from mental health to private practice and beyond, with ribbons highlighting members’ Specialty Practice Sections, the NASW Credentials they’ve earned, and their contributions as volunteer leaders at NASW.
NASW is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where every member can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the collective advancement of social work. We invite you to immerse yourself in the reimagined MyNASW experience, where there are plenty of opportunities for learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
