NASW News, January 2013
From its start in the 1960s, Social Work Month has been a nationwide effort. In 1965, the NASW News published a Social Workers’ Month Regional Report, which documented the efforts of NASW chapters spreading the new concept of Social Work Month awareness. Read more.
Through the decades, Social Work Month themes have evolved along with the profession. From “Doing Good Isn’t Bad-It Isn’t Easy Either” (March 1973) to the latest theme of 2013, “Weaving Threads of Resilience and Advocacy,” this important month continues to celebrate the profession, and be a voice for all social workers.
Your UT Arlington School of Social Work supports this tradition of celebrating our profession. We encourage you to join us by attending the lecture on March 19th from 7PM-9PM in the SSW Auditorium. Dr. Frances Deviney, Director of Texas Kids Count Center for Public Policy Priorities will present Kids Count in Texas Policy: Choices for Children. Download Flyer
