Show your support and appreciation for all the hardworking social workers during National Social Work Month - they make a difference in so many lives!
Let’s celebrate National Social Work Month on March 1st! This month is dedicated to recognizing and appreciating the work of social workers around the world. It was first created in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy as a way to recognize the important contributions that social workers make to our society. From providing support and guidance to helping people through difficult times, social workers are true heroes who dedicate their lives to helping others. So let’s take this month to show our appreciation for all the hard work they do!

Organize a fundraising event to help support social work initiatives in your community. Ask local businesses to donate items for silent auctions or raffles, or plan a benefit dinner or concert.
Find a local organization that is focused on social work that needs volunteers and offer your services. This will give you the opportunity to put your skills to use for a good cause.

Social workers are dedicated to helping individuals, families and communities who are facing difficult times. They provide support, resources and guidance that can make a huge difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
By working with marginalized populations, social workers fight for social justice and strive to create a more equitable society. Through their advocacy efforts they seek to ensure everyone has access to the same rights, privileges and opportunities, regardless of age, race, gender or income level.
Social workers address mental health issues by providing psychotherapy and other forms of counseling. These interventions can help individuals develop coping skills to manage stress, anxiety and depression, as well as life skills such as problem solving and communication.
