CASW - National Social Work Month
"Social Workers Speaking Up: Poverty Costs"
March 1 - 31, 2010
Social workers daily see the costs of poverty – emotional, physical, social, and financial. These numbers make it hard for others to ignore. If we want to ensure the health and well-being of all people living in Canada, poverty reduction is the best starting point. Poverty costs people their physical, emotional, social, and mental well-being. During National Social Work Month, social workers call upon citizens to recognize the impacts of poverty and to support its eradication.
