Every baby, every family supported with competent and compassionate care
The NAPSW is a group of social workers who help individuals, families, and communities respond to psychosocial issues that emerge during the period from pre-pregnancy through an infants first year of life
Statement from NAPSW Board of Directors
As the dust settles following the 2024 presidential election, we would like to re-affirm NAPSW's commitment to the following:
NAPSW will steadfastly continue to advocate and fight for the rights of all birthing people. This includes the right to bodily autonomy, the right to privacy in healthcare, the right to IVF treatment, and most importantly, the right to abortion care. Despite the outcome of this or any other election, NAPSW will continue to stand with all women and birthing people, to decide what is best for their own bodies and their own lives.
Thank you for partnering with us and for standing with the most vulnerable among us.
