Social Work Month 2019 Theme: Elevate Social Work

The 2019 theme for Social Work Month is Elevate Social Work. From NASW website:
Every day, the nation's 680,000 social workers work to empower and elevate millions of people, including some of the most vulnerable in our society.

National Professional Social Work Month in March 2019 is an opportunity for social workers around the nation and world and their supporters to educate the public about the invaluable contributions of the profession.

And we will also use the month to begin a conversation on how to boost the pay of social workers, which continues to lag behind that of other helping professions.
March also has World Social Work Day. The 2019 theme is "Promoting the Importance of Human Relationships." From IFSW website:
The 2019 world social work day highlights ‘Promoting the Importance of Human Relationships’.

World Social Work Day is on the 19th March 2019. It is the key day in the year that social workers worldwide stand together to celebrate the achievements of the profession and take the theme message into their communities, workplaces and to their governments to raise awareness of the social work contributions and need for further action.

This year’s theme focuses on the social relationships between people’s essential relationships with each other, their environments and their futures.
