This House Resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of Social Work Month and World Social Work Day, acknowledging the significant contributions of social workers. It recognizes the Nation's 728,000 social workers as an essential workforce that promotes the health and well-being of Americans, addressing social determinants of health and advocating for social justice. Social workers are leaders in combating discrimination, promoting voting rights, and supporting social safety net programs. They provide critical mental health, behavioral health, and social care services in a wide array of settings, including hospitals, schools, and disaster relief agencies. Their roles extend to assisting veterans, older adults, family caregivers, and those affected by the addiction crisis, illness, or grief. The resolution highlights social workers' ethical commitment to empowering individuals and communities to overcome barriers and reach their full potential. It notes that while social work is one of the fastest-growing professions, there is a need for meaningful investment in recruitment and retention to meet the increasing demand for their services. The House encourages public engagement to further awareness of the integral role social workers play in building a more perfect Union.
