Social Work Month is observed each March in the United States.
American social work is a profession over 100 years old. Its purpose is to improve conditions and quality of life opportunities for everyone through service, dignity, and respect.
The American social work profession was established in the late 19th century to ensure that immigrants and other vulnerable people gained tools and skills to escape economic and social poverty.
The profession of social work:

(b) pursues social change to benefit various individuals, families, and communities.
The policies and programs created by social workers throughout United States history seek to give more people, regardless of life circumstances, the opportunity to cope with and overcome obstacles.
