As a student, you can get connected to many national and local professional organizations that can help guide and support you in your area. As you hopefully heard me say in class, collegial support is a key component of self care.
Here is a list of some of the organizations I have been involved with over the years; there are pleny of others as well, depending on your specific area of interest. If you have not already familiarized yourself with these organizations, you might take a look at their websites:
National Association of Social Workers
Illinois Association for School Social Work
Illinois Association for Infant Mental Health
Society for Social Work and Research
Council on Social Work Education
Illinois Society for Clinical Social Work
(this is a cross-disciplinary group rather than specifically social work, but it has been a great resource for me)
