Information from this survey will assist OASW in identifying, prioritizing and responding to mental health issues relevant to the practice and training of social workers. If you have a degree in social work, please complete the survey (takes approximately 15-20 minutes). Please forward the survey link to other social workers in the mental health sector. Survey participants are eligible to enter a prize draw. OASW is hoping to maximize responses from both members and non-members.
