On Any Given Day, Social Workers Help

The National Social Work Public Education Campaign has created tools for social workers to use to educate people about the breadth and depth of the profession. Advertising, public relations and marketing materials were developed to tell people about the profession. Now, a video has been created to show people how, on any given day, social workers help in so many ways.

This 5-minute video features three dynamic social workers:

• Sue Matorin is a New York City clinical social worker at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
• Jennifer Perez is a medical social worker who specializes in working with trauma patients and their families at the University of North Carolina Medical Center.
• William Bell is the president and CEO of Casey Family Programs in Seattle who works to enact change in the nation´s foster care system.
