This month will honor all the work that social workers have done to serve their communities.
Governor Jim Justice also recognized this month as Social Work Month in West Virginia. Social workers help their residents in their surrounding communities to help them cope with problems they may be facing in their lives. They also address mental health such as behavioral and emotional issues.
“Social workers are the heart and soul of our mission, contributing to the well-being of every individual in our community,” said Jeff Pack, DoHS Bureau for Social Services Commissioner. “This month is a dedicated time to honor their commitment and the significant impact they make in the lives of West Virginians.”
Social workers work throughout the Mountain State address the needs of individuals and families. They also provide services such as adult residential support, children’s foster care services, and home and community-based resources and other resources one may need.
