Social Work Virtual Book Club Recruiting for 2024-25 Cohort!

NASW-Michigan is thrilled to announce that we are recruiting for year eight of our virtual book club!

Join our virtual community to earn up to 18 continuing education credits per licensure renewal cycle while connecting with fellow social workers to read and discuss interesting books that relate to social work practice, diversity, social justice, equity, psychology, and sociology. You may even have the opportunity to connect directly with the authors for some of the group selections.

Our past book selections have included The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias by Dolly Chugh, Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, Children of the Land by Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane. The book club connects virtually in an online community forum affording you the opportunity to participate at a time that is most convenient for you!

Participation is $69 per year for members and $89 per year for non-members. This fee includes the CE credits for passed quizzes.

The book club provides members the opportunity to:

• Earn 3 CEUs for each book that you read and pass a short quiz with a score of 80% or more.

  • The group will read six books per year so participants can earn up to 18 CEUs per year (Michigan allows up to half (22.5) of your continuing education to be earned through alternative learning methods, including the virtual book club).

• Read interesting books related to diversity, equity, social justice, psychology, and sociology.

• Connect with other social workers to grow your professional network and learn from your peers.
