?? Happy World Social Work Day! ?? Today, we celebrate the incredible social workers who make a lasting impact on the lives of the families and individuals we serve. At The Arc of the South Shore, we are proud to work alongside such dedicated professionals who help create positive change every day. Your compassion, commitment, and hard work are truly appreciated! A special thank you to our Early Intervention team and social workers like Joanne Johnson, LICSW, who go above and beyond to support families like Andrea’s. Here’s what Andrea had to say about the impact our team has had on her daughter May: “We just wanted to send a giant thank you to May’s wonderful Early Intervention team at The Arc, including Joanne Johnson, LICSW. They have been nothing short of incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with over the past couple of years, helping us navigate May’s autism diagnosis and providing outstanding services to our family. We honestly wouldn’t be where we are today without all of your support and time spent with May, plus the invaluable assistance from Joanne in navigating May’s recent IEP as she turned 3 last week… May has come so far in the past couple of years since we started working with you all, from a toddler with little words, to a social little girl who talks in sentences all the time now, communicating her needs and constantly learning about and absorbing the world around her. Your team truly made a difference in our lives, and we can’t thank you enough.” – Andrea, mother To all the social workers out there—THANK YOU for everything you do! ?? We’re also excited to share that The Arc is currently hiring! If you're passionate about making a difference, we’d love to have you join our team. Check out open positions and become part of a community that’s dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families. https://lnkd.in/ezUcRHfb #NationalSocialWorkDay #ThankYouSocialWorkers #TheArcOfTheSouthShore #EmploymentOpportunities #MakeADifference #JoinOurTeam
