Social Workers for decades have been dedicated to improving human well-being and enhancing the basic needs of all people—especially the most vulnerable among us.

School Social workers provide multi-tiered systems of school mental health supports including performing crisis response, suicide prevention, and counseling services; develop, and facilitate trainings for students, parents, and staff; educate and provide consultation to staff on how to manage students' behavioral and mental health issues; and connect schools with mental health providers and other resources.

The 2024 Social Work Month theme, “Empowering Social Workers!” embodies the need for society to support Social Workers so they can continue to do the life affirming work they do and help address societal needs.
