5. Social Work Month Proclamation
5 min.
The White House officially recognized National Professional Social Work Month in 1984. The National Association of Social Workers has used this annual recognition to educate the general public about the important role of social workers and to promote social issues. The theme for 2008 is Building on Strengths. Help Starts Here.
At the Durham County Department of Social Services, the social work staff builds on family strengths. The foundation for growth and change in an individual, family, and a community are their strengths. The "strength-based perspective" is central to the work done at DSS because it emphasizes resources, capabilities, support systems, and motivations to meet challenges and overcome adversity. The DSS staff believes "everyone has strengths" and it is one of our Six Principles of Partnership. At DSS, social workers help people find jobs and develop a career path; assess family strengths and develop plans to protect children from abuse and neglect; provide services to keep elderly and disabled adults safe from abuse, neglect, and exploitation and out of institutional care; provide access to crisis services that keep families from losing their homes and utilities; provide support to help children be ready for and succeed in school; and provide support and services to help people manage their medical care needs. Social workers invest in our community's human capital.
Resource Person(s): Chuck Harris, Assistant Director for Child Welfare and Adult Services and Sammy Haithcock, Director.
County Manager's Recommendation: Recommend approval of proclamation declaring Social Work Month in Durham County and to raise community awareness of the many ways DSS social workers build on strengths to invest in our community's human capital.
