National Social Work Month in NEPA

Did you know March marks National Social Work Month in NEPA?

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has designated this year’s theme as “Social Workers: Uplift. Defend. Transform.” Every day, social workers across the U.S. help build stronger, safer, and more equitable communities, including right here in NEPA.

This month, Griswold Home Care for NEPA is proud to spotlight social workers in our community, especially as they serve as a critical liaison in providing care to seniors. Their expertise lets us shape our care to fit each senior, making every experience more personal. Thanks to their support, we’re able to help older adults through challenges and bring a sense of comfort and ease to life at home, just as our mission promises.
