“Social workers affect our lives in so many ways. Their work touches all of us as individuals and as whole communities. They are educated, highly trained and committed professionals. They work in family service and community mental health agencies, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and many other private and public agencies. They listen, they care. And most importantly, they help those in need.”--North Carolina Rep. Bob Etheridge from NASW News, May 2001
