Social Workers Are Essential – Social Work Month 2021

Social Work Month in March is a time to celebrate the great profession of social work.

The theme for Social Work Month 2021 is Social Workers Are Essential.

Social workers are essential to community well-being.

As practitioners, 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 use the items in our toolkit to celebrate all the social workers you know.

For more information on the toolkit, email media@socialworkers.org.
