March is Social Work Month

This year's theme is Social Work Breaks Barriers. During this month we celebrate social workers who help break down barriers that prevent people from living more fulfilling, enriched lives. They work on the individual level, helping people overcome personal crises like food insecurity, lack of affordable housing, or limited access to good health care. They also advocate on a systems level to ensure laws and policies are adopted so everyone can access such services.

Materials and Gear

NASW organizes materials to help you celebrate yourself and colleagues during social work month. These also can be used to educate friends, family, and the public about the great contributions of social workers. for access to the social work month materials.
