National Social Work Month

March is National Social Work Month! As we come to the end of this month, check out the National Association of Social Work’s website to learn a bit more about this profession. NASW’s theme this year for social work month is ‘Social Work Breaks Barriers’. Social workers are all around us in the community. 

When we think of social work, many of us may think of someone who comes at a time of crisis. Social workers are also those who advocate for social justice, as well as their clients. This makes the job description very broad, whether they are a case manager at a local community service, or in a hospital. 

In recognition of this profession, let’s look at some local social work-based resources. 

Mental Health

Health Care

  • Turner Geriatrics Center 
    • Health care for older adults, social workers available for consultation of services – (734) 764-6831 

Social Programming

These are just a few examples of what our community has to offer. Many of your city establishments may have more information on closest resources to you, like your local senior center or a local service provider. Our Senior Resource Connect – Resource Directory can be very helpful at finding more specific resources in your area. Remember to recognize good workers you come in contact with!
