Social Service Workforce Week 2017
Join us in advocating for the social service workforce during the 4th Annual Social Service Workforce Week from September 25 - 29. This year's theme will highlight why we need to advocate for a stronger workforce to help achieve the Sustainable Development goals, including the goals related to violence, migration and health. Daily themed blogs, worker profiles and related resources will help to increase attention and action for strengthening the social service workforce. We encourage you to share the daily emails with colleagues and allied health groups.
