Hello --
Welcome to Issue #220 of the Social Work E-News! Thank you for subscribing to receive this email newsletter, which is brought to you by the publisher of The New Social Worker magazine, SocialWorker.com, SocialWorkJobBank.com, and other social work publications.
Happy Social Work Month! Our Social Work Month Project 2019 is underway, and we are celebrating all month long! Our Social Work Month series has two parts this year. First, we are featuring writings on the six core values of the social work profession - service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence (from the NASW Code of Ethics). Second, we have Social Work Month messages from leaders in our profession. Please follow the Social Work Month 2019 page all month, as new items are added each day.
Another "first" we have launched during this Social Work Month is The New Social Worker Podcast Edition! The podcast is available on Anchor.fm and many other podcast platforms, including Breaker, Stitcher, Google, Apple, Spotify, and others.
This week, I will be in Jacksonville, FL, at the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors (BPD) conference. I'll be at Exhibit Booth #120 in the conference exhibit hall, tomorrow night through Saturday morning. I am excited to see colleagues and hope you are among them!
The New Social Worker website is a great place to find a variety of new and archived articles on job search, social work careers, practice, ethics, and more issues for new grads.
Here’s a quick link for immediate download of the PDF edition for Winter 2019:
Highlights: religious freedom and social work ethics, Ms. Wheelchair America (a social worker), disenfranchised grief, difficult conversations, and more. See listing below (after the "Featured Excerpt").
Our next issue will be a combined Spring/Summer issue and will be out in mid-April.

Social Work Month 2019 - "Thank You" and Join Us for Six Core Values of Social Work, Leadership Messages
Editor’s Note: This excerpt is from THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER's Social Work Month Project 2019.

You can also LISTEN to this message on our NEW podcast!
by Linda May Grobman, MSW, ACSW, LSW
It is THAT time of year again! March is Social Work Month, and The New Social Worker invites you to spend it with us. First and foremost, I want to THANK you for all you do.
Each year, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) chooses a
theme for Social Work Month. This year, the theme is " ELEVATE Social Work."
According to NASW, "During Social Work Month 2019, NASW will launch the
'Elevate Social Work' Campaign [to] educate the public about the
contributions social workers have made to our society and why the
profession is so vital to our nation. NASW also wants to use the
campaign to begin a conversation to help social workers get better
compensation for the work they do." For The New Social Worker's Social Work Month Project 2019, we will publish items throughout the month in two main areas:
- Leaders in the social work profession have written Social Work
Month greetings, focusing on the theme and inspirational topics for all
social workers.
- Social workers and social work students submitted essays on the six
core values of social work, outlined in the Preamble to the NASW Code of Ethics.
Why did The New Social Worker choose to focus on the six core values of social work this year? First of all, what are the six core values of social work? They are (from the NASW Code of Ethics, 2018):
- service
- social justice
- dignity and worth of the person
- the importance of human relationships
- integrity
- competence.

Write for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER
I am seeking a limited number of articles for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER website and magazine. Is there an issue that you are passionate about that corresponds with an upcoming “awareness” month, week, or day; holiday; or time of year/season? This is a good way to identify a topic for a timely article for our website.
For the magazine, we are seeking articles on social work career development and field placement issues.
Our style is conversational and educational, and web articles typically run 500-750 words. Feature articles typically run 1,250-1,500 words. We want positive articles that social workers can use to help them advance in their careers.
I also welcome submissions of poetry, photographs, illustrations, artwork, videos, audio, and other creative work depicting social work and related topics.
Submit articles to Linda Grobman with a subject line that says “Submission—(insert title or topic of submission).” Attach your submission as a Word file. Please include in this file: title of submission, your name as you want it to appear with your article, body of your submission, a brief bio about yourself. I will then review your submission and let you know if I need anything else and/or whether it is accepted for publication.
Please email Linda Grobman with ideas for longer (1,250-1,500 words) "feature articles" for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine.
Thank you!

The beautiful, full-color book - now in paperback and hardcover - makes a meaningful gift for you, a student, or a colleague. It is available now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble (and other bookstores, too).
Jonathan Singer of the Social Work Podcast wrote the foreword to this book, and he said, "Danna pays attention to life’s details with a psychotherapist’s insight and writes about them with the passion of a slam poet. She speaks to the soul of social work and inspires us to think about more than just social work."
