Theme: Elevate Social Work

This year’s theme is Elevate Social Work. Social workers are trained to examine and address life’s problems in a holistic way. They elevate and empower people, giving them the ability to solve problems, cope with personal roadblocks and get the resources they need to succeed. Social workers also bring together individuals with other people, their communities, local and state government, and agencies to address wider problems in our society.
