Social Worker Month
Top 20 resources to celebrate National Social Workers Awareness Month...
PESI Team
Throughout the entire year, social workers strive to strengthen both individuals and their communities, advocating daily for human rights and social justice. Without social workers, and their collaboration with other mental health professionals, many individuals and families wouldn’t be able to manage challenges in their lives such as childhood trauma, family problems, depression, and substance abuse.
The National Association of Social Workers has named the theme for Social Work Month 2022 as The Time is Right for Social Work. Nationally, over 600,000 social workers have risen over the last year to meet the challenges posed by public health crises and civil unrest. Now more than ever, the need for the social work profession and the work done by compassionate, competent professionals like yourselves is clear.
