    Uplift. Defend. Transform: 2026 National Social Work Month

    National Social Work Month in March is a time to celebrate the impactful profession of social work.

    Social workers are trained professionals devoted to helping vulnerable people and communities work through challenges they face in everyday life.

    They are advocates, advisors, counselors, and facilitators in schools, clinics, businesses, and government offices.

    This month, we recognize the dedication and empathy social workers across the country deliver while providing services to children and adults in need.

    Their services are provided in crisis situations or when life creates roadblocks and uncertainty. They guide us through the obstacles and help lift us up. Social workers provide guidance and connect us to resources when we are in need.

    Kelly Pediatric Therapy honors and celebrates all our social workers and school counselors who provide services to students to enhance their emotional well-being and improve their academic performance.

    Ways you can observe #SocialWorkMonth

    1. Show your support for a social worker you know.
    2. Consider a career in social work.
    3. Learn about the different services provided by social workers.
    4. Participate in a job fair.
    5. Share why social work is important to you as a career or as a recipient of services.
