REGINA —The theme of Social Work Week, March 18-23 in Saskatchewan, was Seven Points of Unity; Many Possibilities.
Saskatchewan Social Services says social workers assist individuals and families in need navigate difficulties in their lives. They provide supports and services to help overcome significant challenges, including substance use, intimate partner violence, mental health crises and intergenerational trauma. Across the province, social workers can be found working in public or private practice, in community-based organizations, and across the health and mental health, education, justice, disability, and child and family sectors. They may also be engaged in research, policy, planning or administration.
The Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW) promotes and regulates the profession of social work in the province, ensuring accountability of registered social workers and protecting the public through recognized, ethical standards of practice. There are more than 2,700 social workers currently registered in Saskatchewan.
