Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes March 2026 as Social Work Month. It highlights the work of over 700,000 social workers who help Americans with mental health, housing, and finding jobs.
The proposal honors social workers for their help in many different areas. This includes helping veterans get their benefits, supporting families during natural disasters, and working in schools to help students succeed.
It points out that the country needs more social workers to handle the growing mental health crisis. While the number of social workers is growing, the resolution says more investment is needed to find and keep people in this career.
