Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes the week of March 2, 2025, as School Social Work Week. It honors the professionals who help students deal with mental health, poverty, and other challenges that make it hard to learn.
School social workers provide counseling and support for the many children who have diagnosed mental or behavioral disorders. They help families who might not be able to find or afford mental health services in their own neighborhoods.
The resolution highlights how these workers improve schools by lowering dropout rates and reducing discipline problems. By helping students feel safe and supported, they help improve grades and prepare kids for the future.
