Show Me Social Work: Celebrating Social Work Month
March is Social Work Month and offers an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of social workers in our region and the larger society. Historically and currently, social workers are essential in helping individuals, families, groups, and communities address challenges and achieve their full potential. This month at the Brown School, we honor the diversity of paths of social work, including those “breaking barriers” to achieve equity, address anti-racism and promote social justice. More now than ever, we need to diligently examine the intersections of poverty, inequities, discrimination, and social injustice.
We are known in Missouri as the “Show Me State,” and we are excited to elevate social work and uplift the strategies, practices, and policies that invite thought-provoking commentary around the theme “Show Me Social Work.”
Join us as we honor and show gratitude for the commitment, compassion, and dedication of social workers who work tirelessly with our communities and advocate for the most vulnerable members of our society. Visit our website for programming details.
