Celebrating our Social Workers!
March is National Social Work Month and this year’s theme is “Social Work: Compassion + Action.” This month is a great time to learn and reflect on the profession’s many positive contributions.
At S:US, our social work staff are compassionate and talented individuals. Collectively, we transform the lives of people with disabilities, people in poverty, and people facing homelessness.
Social workers go through years of education, training, and supervision so they can do the delicate but important work of meeting people where they are and helping them achieve their goals. Social workers are trained to see presenting issues through the tapestry of race, culture, gender, religion, and socio-economic status. They pride themselves in using the intersectionality lens to understand and advocate for people served on an individual and systemic level.
At S:US, we are therapists, wellness/family specialists, directors, supervisors, quality assurance specialists, trainers, grant writers, and more because we recognize the need to have a multifaceted approach to addressing people’s needs.
We celebrate our social workers, this month and every month. We thank them for their essential work breaking barriers and serving New Yorkers in need.
