Building a Sustainable Community by Sustaining Special Children

Building a Sustainable Community by Sustaining Special Children

Social Work helps the arc of the moral universe bend toward justice, to paraphrase the Revolution. Martin Luther King, Jr. said. “Social workers stand up every day for human rights and social justice to help strengthen our communities. They can be the voice for people who aren’t being heard, and they tackle the serous social issues in order to forge solutions that help people reach their full potential and make our nation a better place to live. Social work is a profession that is quite broad, diverse, and offers a variety of settings, roles, and services to those who share one common value of helping those in need.
