Calling all Social Workers! The COVID-19 outbreak has already begun to negatively impact our clients and communities. Now more than ever, we as social workers must come together to support and empower those around us.

Our unique set of skills places us at an advantage as we know how to provide case management, resource allocation/distribution, and advocacy services.

If there was ever a time to come together and be radical, it's now. So, let's be the change we want to see in the world!
