We’re shining a light on the people who often work behind the scenes—but carry some of the heaviest responsibilities in our communities. Social
workers are on the front lines every day—supporting children in crisis, helping families stay together, and stepping in when safety and stability are on the line.
But what is that work really like? What challenges are families in D.C. facing right now—and how do social workers help move them toward safety, security, and well-being? This is National Social Work Month, we’re talking directly with those doing the work—on the ground, in real time.
