This joint resolution recognizes March 2025 as Social Work Month and celebrates the critical contributions of social workers to society. The resolution highlights the diverse roles social workers play in advocating for vulnerable populations, including supporting diverse families, championing the rights of disadvantaged and oppressed groups, advocating for children, LGBTQ+ individuals, and promoting environmental justice. The resolution emphasizes social workers' efforts to improve mental health access, support veterans and their families, care for older adults, and effect positive social change through policy efforts. Additionally, the resolution calls for transmitting copies of the resolution to various social work academic programs in Maine and the National Association of Social Workers' Maine Chapter, thereby officially acknowledging and honoring the profession's important work in supporting and improving communities.
