Spread The Word! |
|
 |
|
Many people have only a vague idea of what social workers do. Help them appreciate the contributions of social workers by putting up informative displays at local area schools, libraries and community centers. Use the “Social Workers: A Passion For Caring” Poster as a foundation, and add facts about what roles social workers play in society and what it takes to become a social worker. Include statistics about how many people were served by social workers in the local area last year, as well as contact numbers to reach social workers or get more information. Place colorful “Social Workers: A Passion For Caring” Balloons on the display to draw people’s attention. |

Anniversaries And Appreciation
| |
 |
|
Take your social workers out to a fancy appreciation dinner at a local restaurant. If you employ many social workers, rent out a ballroom at a convention center or college instead, and have the dinner catered. Present each social worker with a Magnet & Greeting Card Set to show them how much they mean to your organization. During this event, recognize social workers who’ve been with your company for one year, five years, ten years, and longer with lapel pins–give a different lapel pin for each anniversary. For one year, give “Social Workers: Touching One Life At A Time” Lapel Pins. For five years, give “Social Workers: Working To Make A Difference” Lapel Pins. For ten years, give “Social Workers Help People Help Themselves” Lapel Pins. To honor your employees of fifteen years or longer, give “Reaching Out, Touching Lives” Lapel Pins inside “Thanks For All You Do” Velveteen Pouches. |

A Spirit Of Learning |
|
 |
|
Obtaining Continued Education Units, or CEUs, is now a required part of being a licensed social worker. To encourage continued learning and make obtaining CEUs easier, host a CEU in-service for employees at just your facility or for social workers throughout the community. Ask noted professors and doctors of social work to teach workshops. Make it an all-day event. When social workers show up for the first class, give them each a Briefcase Bag. This bag can hold the pens, books, pamphlets and writing pads that they will need throughout the in-service. At the end of the event, give all participants a Folding Alarm Clock to thank them for taking the time to attend. |

A Breath Of Fresh Air |

Host a picnic/field day for social workers throughout your community. Hold the event on a Friday or Saturday, and invite social workers from a variety of local organizations. Plan a light hike to go along with the celebration, and give attendees a Multi Function Pedometer & Walking Log to promote a healthy lifestyle. This is a great chance for your social workers to network with other social workers in the area. Show appreciation to all participants for their efforts by handing out “Social Workers: A Passion For Caring” Deluxe Brass Key Rings. |

Relax! |
|
 |
|
Social workers often spend so much time helping others, they forget to take time for themselves. Give back to the social workers at your facility by organizing a relaxation day. Provide Social Worker’s Stress Survival Kits, and ask local massage therapists and yoga instructors to donate their skills. Discuss stress management techniques, hold a yoga class, and give all social workers a free massage. At the end of the day, present each social worker with a Microfleece Blanket as a reminder to relax after work. Thank each guest instructor or therapist with a Laser-Engraved Pen. |

A Head Start |
|
 |
|
It’s never too early to interest youngsters in social work. Set up an information table at your local elementary and high school during career days. Give younger kids Zip Wallets With Key Rings, and explain to them that social workers help many people, often children like them. Encourage older kids to learn more by giving them information about social work programs at area colleges, and suggest they contact these schools if interested. Give high school students Funky Head Pens to help them keep the possibility of a career in social work in mind. |
