March 2021 is National Social Work Month. This is a month celebrated each year to honor and recognize the incredible work done by social workers throughout the country. The theme for Social Work Month 2021 is “Social Workers Are Essential.”

Social work is a profession that focuses on helping people. Social workers by trade are clinicians who are trained to help individuals address personal issues, as well as systemic barriers to optimal living. Social workers look to create positive change in people, in families, and in communities throughout America.

Every day in our country, social workers create positive contributions in the lives of millions of people, as well as create positive change in our communities. National Social Work Month is a month in the year where these positive contributions can be acknowledged, honored, and celebrated.

As a profession, social work is an academic discipline and practice-based professional that concerns itself with individuals, families, groups, communities, and society as a whole in an effort to meet basic needs and enhance social functioning, self-determination, collective responsibility, and overall well-being. As professionals, social workers help people solve and cope with problems in their everyday lives. Clinical social workers diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, substance misuse, and emotional issues.

Here at Innovo Detox, we have two vital social workers who are integral in the work we do daily with patients. Innovo Detox Clinical Supervisor Brianna Earomirski, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Innovo Detox Counselor Colleen Ramsey, LSW, CAADC, is a Licensed Social Worker, as well as being a Certified Advanced Addiction and Drug Counselor. Additionally, Caroline Farrell, LSW, Innovo Detox’s Community Outreach Specialist, is also a Licensed Social Worker.

During March, we want to recognize and celebrate all the important work that both Brianna and Colleen do here every day with patients at Innovo Detox, as well as the incredible impact social workers have throughout the country on millions of lives each year!
