Fellowship Place Celebrates Social Work Month

Fellowship Place celebrated Social Work month today with a special ceremony recognizing the contributions that professional Social Workers make at the agency on a daily basis.  Members shared how social workers have made a difference in their lives.  There are more than 650,000 professional Social Workers employed in the United States, and Social Work is one of the fastest growing professions.  Social workers are leaders, advocates, and champions, dedicated to improving the lives of the most vulnerable and to making our communities good places to live, work, and play.
