March is National Social Work month.

Social workers are employed and serve in many different roles in our society: healthcare, child welfare, mental health, advocacy, governmental roles, schools, corrections, geriatrics and hospice, academia and research, non-profits, and many other areas.

The National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics states the Social Work profession's primary mission is "to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty."

We strive to honor and uphold the Social Work mission and values at Renewed Hope Counseling. Happy Social Work month!
