Social workers are essential to Chico's community well-being.
This month is 2021 Social Work Month, a time to celebrate the great profession of social work.
As a home health care provider in Chico, BrightStar Care works with Social Workers and Case Managers to assist in continuing care for patients discharged home from hospitals or skilled nursing rehab facilities.
One of the ways we can observe Social Work Month is by learning more about this essential profession. As part of this effort to raise awareness for Social Work and to help support the profession, please view expert Dr. Anna Scheyett, Dean of the College of Social Work at USC, as she describes the ways that social workers serve their communities.
Dr. Scheyett's research examines community integration of vulnerable populations, especially those with serious mental illnesses, those with HIV, and those involved in the criminal justice system.

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) explains, "As practitioners, social workers are trained to help people address personal and systemic barriers to optimal living. They are employed to effect positive change with individuals, families, groups, and entire communities."
During Social Work Month, we take time to share more about the profession's many positive contributions and celebrate all the social workers we know.
