Social workers turn compassion into action everyday, advocating for and with individuals, families, and community members needing support. Now more than ever, they’re on the frontlines alongside people navigating escalating social, economic, and political challenges. This #SocialWorkMonth, let’s support the #SocialWorkers in our communities and make sure they take time to care for themselves, too; caring for oneself is necessary to make this work sustainable. To all social workers: we see you, we honor you, we stand with you. Thank you for your dedication and advocacy. #SWMonth2025 #CompassionPlusAction
