Every March, we celebrate Social Worker Appreciation Month, a time to recognize and honor the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to support individuals, families and communities in need. Social workers play a crucial role in our society, providing essential services and tirelessly advocating for positive change. 

At the heart of social work is a deep commitment to improving the well-being of others. Social workers are compassionate, empathetic and resourceful professionals who work across various settings, including healthcare, schools, non-profit organizations and government agencies. They serve diverse populations, addressing issues such as mental health, substance abuse, poverty, domestic violence and more. 

Social workers not only address immediate crises but also focus on long-term solutions and empowerment. They collaborate with clients to identify strengths, set goals and access resources that promote resilience and positive outcomes.  

As we celebrate Social Worker Appreciation Month, let’s take a moment to thank social workers for their unwavering dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Whether they provide counseling, case management, advocacy or community organizing, their contributions make a profound difference in the lives of those they serve. Let’s honor and support social workers as they continue to be champions of positive change and social justice. 

In conjunction with Social Worker Appreciation Month, we are excited to highlight our online Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) programs from Kent School of Social Work and Family Science.
