The National Federation of the Blind’s Human Services Division is seeking
a collaborative relationship with the National Association of Social
workers in an effort to significantly increase opportunities for blind
social workers. In an effort to assess how many people will be impacted
by our efforts, we would like to get an idea of how many blind people are
either professional social workers at any level or aspire to become
social workers. We are urging anyone in any of these categories to send a
message with your name, location, and email address to<br><br>
<br><br>

<br><br>
When sending us a message, if you would like to share any concerns or
challenges you have faced in your educational, application, recruitment,
employment, or professional development efforts, such information will
help us prioritize our initiatives to better serve our constituents.

The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the oldest and largest
organization of the blind in the United States. The Human Services
Division is a special interest group of the NFB whose members are blind
professionals in the human services field or aspiring to work in this
field. The purpose of the Division is to serve as a vehicle for
self-expression by blind human service professionals; to provide a
support and information network of blind human service professionals
about techniques and capabilities of the blind; to advocate for the full
integration of blind professionals into all human services fields; and to
function as an integral part of the National Federation of the Blind. For
more information, please feel free to get in touch with me. My contact
