HAPPY SOCIAL WORK MONTH!
Social Work Breaks Barriers! We have a strong innate desire to help empower, individuals, families, communities and our nation overcome issues that prevent them from reaching their full potential. We have worked for more than a century to improve the human well-being and enhance the basic needs of all people. We follow a Code of Ethics that call on us to fight social injustice and respect the dignity and worth of all people. You can find us at every level of society and in many different roles. We are the largest group of mental health care providers in the United States. We are on the front lines of the nation’s opioid addiction crisis, helping people get the treatment they need and prevail over substance use disorders. We advocate for equal rights for all, including people of color, people who are indigenous, the LBGTQIA2S+ and people who follow various faiths.
We continue to push for change.
WE MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE.
