To celebrate March as National Social Work Month, we are highlighting some of the great things foster parents have told us about case managers, licensing coordinators, adoption specialists, and others who spend every day (and sometimes nights, too) in social work.

“…her job does not stop at 5:00. She works long hours during the week, as well as on the weekends, to ensure that all her children’s needs are met.”

“She works harder than anyone I know, but she always makes us feel like we are a priority.”
““If every caseworker was like her, we would always have everything we need for all the kiddos who come through our home!”
“She helps me with things that aren’t even her job.”

“She is upbeat, professional, and caring.”
“She responds to texts, calls, and emails in a timely manner, and is a wonderful support to us as foster parents. I appreciate her so much!”
“When I need something from another department at DSS, she makes the connection and makes sure we have it. Priceless.”
“I am thankful for her advice and encouragement throughout our fostering journey. It definitely makes a difference when you feel supported.”

“Dedicated. Hard-working. Loving. Approachable. Understanding. Team Player. Unselfish.”
“She made me feel valued as a foster mom and never made me feel like my questions were stupid or trivial.”
“She really cares about the children and goes out of her way to accommodate both foster and biological families.”
“She works tirelessly and gives unselfishly to ensure her children stay connected to siblings.” “I really appreciate her being our DSS worker. I know how hard those caseworkers work and some days they feel defeated. I will continue to pray for them.”
We want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who chooses a career path of social work. Very thankful for you. Thank you for the way you keep going when things are hard and thank you for caring enough to do the right thing for the children and families you serve. We support you.
