MSSA (Minnesota Social Service Association)

MSSA (Minnesota Social Service Association) Working to improve the well-being of all people. MSSA is celebrating our 125th anniversary in 2018!

MSSA is a professional association representing a unique cross section of non-profit and for-profit agencies from the public and private sector. Our membership includes anyone concerned about the human service
system—social workers, case aides, public health nurses, managers, child support offices, financial workers, county commissioners, probation officers and more. With over 3700 individual memb

ers and 161 agency members, we cover the entire health and human service field across Minnesota. MSSA provides health and human service professionals with the tools to help them serve their clients better, through education, advocacy, and other member benefits. MSSA was established in 1893 as the Minnesota Conference on Corrections and Charities to share best practices from Minnesota and other states to improve care to clients.
