March is Social Work Month
In addition to being a certified coach, I am proud to say I've been a Social Worker for 34 years . An amazing profession that helps millions of people every day!
Clinical social workers make up 60% of mental health professionals compared to 10% of psychiatrists, 23% of psychologists and 5% of psychiatric nurses.
Social workers also help people who are experiencing devastating illnesses, our veterans, children, families and communities. Social workers are trained to look at situations in a holistic way, help people increase their ability to solve problems, cope with stressors and get needed resources. Social workers bring individuals and communities together to find solutions for problems including hunger, lack of affordable housing, and equal rights for all. Social workers make organizations responsible to people through sound social policy.
