National Social Work Month 2011
In March, we celebrate social workers and their role as positive change agents in our society. There are 640,000 professional social workers in the United States that dedicate their careers to helping people transform their lives or improve their environment.
Social workers help people overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges: poverty, discrimination, abuse, addiction, physical illness, divorce, loss, unemployment, educational inequalities, disability and mental illness. They help prevent crises and counsel individuals, families and communities to cope more effectively with the stresses of everyday life
