SOCIAL WORK MONTH, NTL.
About Social Work Month in the United States
Social Work Month occurs in March of each year. American social work is a profession going on 116 years. Its purpose is to improving social conditions and quality of life opportunities for everyone through service, dignity and respect.
The American social work profession was established in the late 19th century to ensure that immigrants and other vulnerable people gained tools and skills to escape economic and social poverty.
The profession of social work
(a) helps people in their personal and interpersonal lives in order to achieve social improvement, and
(b) pursues social change to benefit a wide variety of individuals, families and communities.
The policies and programs created by social workers throughout U.S. history seek to give more people—regardless of life circumstances—the opportunity to cope with and overcome obstacles.
