The Importance of Social Workers in Behavioral and Mental Health

Celebrating Social Worker Appreciation Month

Social Work is a broad field of expertise. It includes mental health, county services, community support services, judicial and foster care systems. Often, the people who are drawn to this work want to make a difference in the lives of others. Their job requires resiliency and hope daily while using technical knowledge of everything from human behavior and child development to current local and federal policies.

We need social workers – they do so much for our society. Though not all our employees at Victor carry the job title “social worker” the majority do what is considered social work. We’ve been helping others soar for over 65 years and we can’t agree more with this year’s theme for Social Worker’s Appreciation Month “The Time is Right for Social Work”.
