About
The Chicago Association of Black Social Workers (CABSW) was birthed amidst the Civil Rights movement of the 60s chartered in 1968. We were formerly known as the Association of Black Catalysts. We have a long, rich history of local, regional and national leadership!
Join us on social media on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook while we transition from one webmaster to another. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
