ORN celebrates social workers throughout March and beyond. From providing critical education and encouraging innovative solutions for individuals with opioid, stimulant, and other substance use disorders, social workers are true heroes.
Special shoutout to our partners: the National Association of Social Workers, who lead this awareness month; the Council on Social Work Education, for their commitment to advancing excellence and innovation in social work education and research; and the Assoc. for Multidisciplinary Edu. & Research in Substance use & Addiction, for equipping social workers with the knowledge and skills needed to support individuals across the continuum of care.
To all the incredible social workers making a difference for those with SUD: Thank you for showing what it means to uplift, defend and transform our communities every day!
