Happy Social Work Month!!!

03/23/2026

March is National Social Workers Month! NAMI Maine recognizes the amazing work that social workers do in their communities every day. Their work not only helps to promote social change, but they also work to promote the importance of human rights and social justice.

Created in 1963 to educate the public on the work that social workers do every day. It also encourages support for those in the profession. Now, the month is celebrated by Social Workers and their supporters everywhere.

Be on the lookout for an upcoming podcast celebrating the dedication of Maine’s social workers!
