One Last Reminder

Don't forget about tomorrows celebration!!

What we learned from Mister Rodgers

As this is the month to celebrate social workers, I had a friend personally share a video with me about Mister Rodgers.  It's been remixed and spliced but truely had a powerful message to share. 

While on the video, I saw a posted comment about a quote from Mister Rodgers.  

Felt like it was appropriate to share as we are all important helpers to our families, friends, clients, etc.

Happy Social Work Month!
