Expressing support for the designation of the week beginning March 5, 2024, as "School Social Work Week".

Bill 118 HRES 1059, also known as the "School Social Work Week" resolution, is a piece of legislation that expresses support for designating the week beginning March 5, 2024, as "School Social Work Week." This resolution aims to recognize and celebrate the important role that school social workers play in supporting the well-being and academic success of students in schools across the United States.

School social workers are trained professionals who work with students, families, and school staff to address social, emotional, and behavioral issues that may impact a student's ability to learn and thrive in the school environment. They provide counseling, crisis intervention, and support services to help students overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

By designating a week to honor and highlight the work of school social workers, this resolution seeks to raise awareness about the critical role they play in promoting the overall health and well-being of students. It also serves as a way to show appreciation for the dedication and hard work of these professionals who often work behind the scenes to support the success of students in our nation's schools. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1059 is a bipartisan effort to recognize and celebrate the contributions of school social workers and to promote the importance of their work in creating safe and supportive learning environments for all students.
