Social Work Month 2021

March is Social Work Month, a time to celebrate the great profession of social work. The theme for 2021 is Social Workers Are Essential. Social workers are trained to help people address personal and systemic barriers to optimal living. They are employed to effect positive change with individuals, families, groups and entire communities. During Social Work Month, take time to learn more about the many positive contributions of the profession, and to celebrate all the social workers you know. School Social Workers light the way, emphasizing the whole child, collaborating with other professionals, linking students and families with needed services, and advocating for our profession.
