Every March BrightStar Care helps celebrate National Social Work Month in Howard County
For National Social Work Month, we recognize the dedication and empathy social workers in Howard County give to children and adults in need. Social workers are advocates, advisors, counselors, and facilitators in schools, clinics, businesses, and our local government offices.
"In their roles, they provide support to people of all backgrounds, in our communities and to employers. Their services are provided in crisis situations or when life creates roadblocks and uncertainty. They guide us through the obstacles and help lift us out of the potholes. Social workers provide a voice for equal rights for the weakest of us and connect us to resources when we are in need."
Since social workers take on many roles, they are always in demand. Whether they provide their services to children, adults or families, social workers are highly trained and have earned at least a Bachelor of Social Work degree or higher.
Thank you to all our valued Social Workers! BrightStar Care of Howard County salutes you.

National Social Work Month was first organized in March of 1963 by National Association of Social Workers as a way to encourage public support for the profession. Then in 1984, a joint resolution of Congress was passed and was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan under Proclamation 5167 on March 22 as National Professional Social Work Month.
