This resolution seeks to designate the week beginning March 2, 2025, as "School Social Work Week" to acknowledge the critical role these professionals play in student well-being and academic success. It highlights that school social workers are essential for students facing significant challenges such as disability, poverty, mental illness, and other barriers to learning, especially given the rising mental and behavioral health disorders among children. As licensed mental health professionals, school social workers provide vital services including assessment, interventions, counseling, and family outreach, often filling gaps in community mental health services. They are integral to school safety planning and contribute significantly to improving educational outcomes by reducing absences and dropout rates. The resolution ultimately encourages the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, thereby promoting greater awareness of the indispensable contributions school social workers make to students, schools, and communities nationwide.
