Whereas, social workers employ their skillsets and caring attributes to assist clients in navigating life’s challenges to become stronger and more resilient-through assessments, counseling, encouragement, and by working to refer clients to available community resources; and
Whereas, all children have the right to safe environments and a quality education, and senior citizens deserve dignity and to be free from abuse and neglect; and
