Social Work MonthMarch is National Social Work Month.  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.
 
Today, and every day, we thank, honor and celebrate our dedicated Friends of Karen social workers. Stay tuned all month long as we will be spotlighting our social work heroes.
