KVC Celebrates Social Work Month 2015 (VIDEOS)
KVC Health Systems and its subsidiaries across the country are proud to employ 372 licensed social workers (a large segment of our 1,300-person team) plus many more people who play similar supportive roles in the lives of children and families. Social workers are highly trained and experienced professionals who help individuals, families, and groups restore or enhance their capacity for social functioning, and work to create societal conditions that support communities in need.
Social workers help people overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges: poverty, discrimination, abuse, addiction, physical illness, divorce, loss, unemployment, educational problems, disability, and mental illness. They help prevent crises and counsel individuals, families, and communities to cope more effectively with the stresses of everyday life.
To honor our dedicated staff and call attention to this important vocation, KVC is proud to celebrate Social Work Month! Take a look at some of the videos and blog posts we’ve put together:
