[close] Death Cafe is a continuation of the in person Death Cafe movement. Our mission is simple at the events: No agenda, no ideology, no promotion, no "educating" others. In death, we are all beginners. Let's try the same thing here. Because this is a website dedicated to books, our discussions here may end up being more narrow than in person events.

[close] A forum for members of the North American Association of Christians in Social Work to engage with the ideas of prominent, provocative books addressing contemporary social issues from a Christian perspective that are relevant to Christians in social work.

[close] A group specifically for social workers who want to share and discuss books they love or wrote themselves. Any type of book is welcome, whatever feeds your soul, inspires, instructs, or helps you relax and escape. This is also a group to start discussions about social work, advocacy, and social justice. Recommend books that capture these dynamics. Talk about the books that need to be written. Above all, this is a group to support readers and authors, enriching our practice, connecting us to the reasons why we became social workers!
