March is National Social Work Month!
This month, we honor the more than 680,000 social workers across the U.S. who advocate for vulnerable populations, strengthen communities, and create meaningful change every day. The 2026 theme, “Social Work: Uplift. Defend. Transform.”, established by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), highlights the powerful role social workers play in promoting social justice, advancing mental health, and providing essential services in schools, hospitals, and communities. From mental health and addiction treatment to child welfare and crisis recovery, social workers are often the steady presence behind the scenes uplifting individuals, defending human rights, and transforming lives. First officially recognized in 1984, Social Work Month continues to build awareness and celebrate the dedication, compassion, and impact of this vital profession. Thank you to all the social workers who show up, speak up, and make a difference.
