The White House officially recognized March as the National Professional Social Work Month in 1984. The theme for Social Work Month 2020 is “Social Workers: Generations Strong.”Join us as we look back and honor the powerful, positive impact the social work profession has had on our community for many generations. Our guest Katherine Badertscher, PhD, and author of the dissertation “Organized Charity and the Civic Ideal in Indianapolis, 1879-1922” shares how Families First has played an evolutionary role in meeting the needs of our neighbors.
