To: | All Senate members |
Subject: | March - Professional Social Work Month |
I will be introducing a resolution next month to recognize March 2018 as "Professional Social Work Month" in Pennsylvania. "Professional Social Work Month" is recognized nationally. The 2018 theme is "Social Workers: Leaders. Advocates. Champions.” Approximately 14,000 licensed social workers and clinical social workers in Pennsylvania, and more than 600,000 nationally, help meet the basic needs of all people, especially the most vulnerable. They improve our communities by supporting veterans' reentry into civilian life, strengthening struggling families and helping individuals get access to the treatments they need to improve their lives. I hope you will join me in recognizing the role these professionals have, direct and indirect, in improving our lives and communities. |
