In our March Sacred Circle, we explored the healing power of nature.

Facilitated by horticultural therapist Andi Yates , LMFT, participants reflected on how gardening can serve as both a mindfulness practice and a gentle outlet for processing grief and loss.

Like seeds planted in soil, healing takes time, patience, and care.

We’re grateful for the space to gather, reflect, and grow together. 🌱

Stay tuned for more info on our April group!

Our 10th Anniversary NASW Ohio Chapter Social Work Gala is in the books!

This was by far the best social work celebration and gala yet!

Social workers from across the state converged onto Columbus to celebrate and recognize US.

From the outstanding award recipients and their speeches, to the keynote, the food, to the DJ, we had a time!

Special shout-out to THE BEST board of directors this President could have. It's an honor to lead this dynamic, dedicated and faithful group of LEADERS.

Thank you to The Amazing Tei Street for your uplifting keynote. Thank you for seeing us.

Thank you to our fearless leader and Executive Director Danielle Smith and congratulations on your award. Well deserved. ❤️

Thank you to THE BEST Development and Program Coordinator in the world😘 Hannah Ware and the entire NASW OH staff for all of your hard work behind the scenes that made this night a success.

The world is so heavy right now. It was a blessing to be able to sneak away for a few hours to recognize, celebrate and love on each other.

Thank you all for refilling my cup and making my first gala as Board President so memorable! I love all of you! My social work family!❤️🤗🙏🏽

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the beauty of diversity in all that women are and all that women do.

From nurturing in the home…
To organizing in the community…
To leading in the boardroom…

To advocating, innovating, creating, and transforming the world.

Women are visionaries. Builders. Caregivers. CEOs. Healers. Trailblazers. Dreamers. Disruptors.

There is no one way to be a woman.

Our stories are different.

Our journeys are unique.

Our impact is undeniable.

Here’s to the women who paved the way.

Here’s to the women making history now.

Here’s to the girls who are watching and learning what’s possible.✨

This month, Sacred Circle will focus on horticultural mindfulness — a gentle, symbolic act of mindfully nurturing life while tending to the awareness of our own. Together, we will create and ground our plants, while we ground ourselves.

As always, in our Sacred Circle, you will have the opportunity to:
🌱 Connect with others who understand
🌱 Engage in a grounding, hands-on healing activity
🌱 Honor your loved one in a meaningful way
🌱 Learn coping tools in a safe, supportive space

This is a therapeutic, trauma-informed, healing space designed to support survivors at every stage of the grief journey.

Food & gift cards will be provided.

You do not have to carry this alone.

Let’s find hope and healing together!

Happy Social Work Month from Starks Counseling & Consultation, LLC!

From Jane Addams to pioneers like Whitney M. Young Jr., Dorothy Height, and George Edmund Haynes, the social work profession has always been rooted in justice.

African American social work leaders challenged this field to confront racism, expand economic opportunity, and live out the true meaning of dignity and worth for all.

Social workers have shaped child welfare, advanced mental health care, strengthened families, and influenced policy at every level.

Even as the current administration questions our value and expertise, we remain grounded in our ethics, education, and commitment to human rights.

Our advocacy, intellect, care, and resilience will carry us forward.

We will persevere. We will grow. We will inspire the next generation.

Social work is not just what we do — it’s who we are.
