This month you can take action to show support to the social workers you know – even small things can have a big impact. Here are some ideas from CASAT On Demand:

• Acknowledge the Importance of Social Workers
  The work has a way of wearing on people, and while self-care for social workers can help, they often need community support as well.
• Spread the Word
  Hop on your social media and help spread the word, or give a shout out to a social worker you know.
• Go Grassroots
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) highlights many ways that you can use this month to boost social awareness and maybe even recruit new social workers.
• Get Out and Vote
  Even if there isn’t a voting opportunity in the near future, you can make a difference by encouraging people to register to vote.
• Say Thank You
   A simple act of kindness and appreciation can go a long way.

You can also bring awareness to the work Social workers do by joining in on the National Association of Social Workers social media campaign:
