Representatives Gwen Moore and Barbara Lee Recognize School Social Work Week
Today, Representatives Gwen Moore and Barbara Lee introduced a resolution that designates March 3rd – March 9th, 2024 as School Social Work Week.
“As a former psychiatric social worker and Chair of the Congressional Social Work Caucus, I am proud to recognize ‘School Social Workers Week’ alongside my colleague Congresswoman Gwen Moore. School social workers are critical mental health professionals who serve as bridges between vulnerable students and the resources they need to thrive as adults. Congress must use every possible avenue to uplift and empower school social workers and the students they serve,” said Rep. Lee.
“The School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA) is honored to have the support and recognition from Rep. Moore and Rep. Lee on the value of School Social Workers supporting students, families, schools, and communities. School Social Workers provide vital services to students, enhancing their social, emotional, mental, behavioral, and academic success. The significant increase in child and adolescent mental health concerns illustrates the need for School Social Workers to continue to impact student well-being.”
