National Social Work Week 2010
March 01, 2010
The Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) is pleased to celebrate the role and contributions of social workers during National Social Work Week (NSWW).
ONA’s social worker members are highly skilled professionals who enhance health care by helping people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels participate more fully in relationships, work, home and community life.
Each year, National Social Work Week is marked across Canada during the month of March. In Ontario, NSWW is from March 1 to 7.
The theme for National Social Work Week 2010 in Ontario is: “Poverty: There are Solutions – Social Workers Making a Difference.”
According to the Ontario Association of Social Workers, this theme was selected to:
- highlight the critical need for solutions to poverty to remain at the forefront of the profession’s social advocacy in the coming decade;
- focus attention on, and to support, initiatives and groups that are attempting to alleviate this pervasive social problem; and
- spotlight ways in which social workers play an important role in helping individuals, families, groups and communities combat poverty.
