National Social Work Day – March 19, 2019

March 19th is National Social Work Day! The focus of the day is one that we hold dear here at Menno Place – PROMOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Thank you to Dan Janzen and Kim Wiebe who serve the residents of Menno Place as our Social Workers!

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 focusses on the social relationships between people’s essential relationships with each other, their environments and their futures.

“From the social work experience all people are bound together by social relationships that determine the quality and security of life. Worldwide the social work profession will unify in promoting the importance of building policies and practices that recognize, cultivate and enrich our interdependent relationships – for peace, the realization of all people’s equal rights and a sustainable world.’ – Dr. Rory Truell, International Federation of Social Workers
