Social Work Virtual Book Club Recruiting for Our Newest Cohort!

NASW-Michigan is thrilled to announce that we are recruiting for our next cohort for the Social Work Virtual Book Club!

Join our virtual community to earn up to 18 CEs per year while connecting with fellow social workers. Together, we will read & discuss interesting books that relate to social work practice, diversity, social justice, equity, and more. You may even have the opportunity to connect directly with the authors for some of the group selections.

Some of our past book selections have included: Broken: Transforming Child Protective Services--Notes from a Former Caseworker by Jessica Pryce, 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 $79 per year for NASW members and $99 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 popular non-fiction related to social work (books take an average of 7 hours to read cover to cover).

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

• Participate entirely online so the program can fit into your schedule.

• Hold yourself accountable for reading by being part of a group.
