Sample Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
March is National Social Work Month, and I'd like to tell
you and your readers more about how the social work profession
is playing a vital role in our community.
Professional social workers have the right education, experience,
and dedication to help people help themselves whenever and
wherever they need it most. Social workers are uniquely trained
to help people in their environment, looking at all dimensions
of the individual's life and culture to help them achieve well-being.
Social workers understand complex support systems and work
to connect people to the resources they need. Focusing on a
person's strengths, not on their weaknesses, social workers
help people reach their potential.
From children to the elderly, social workers help people in
all stages of life. Social workers provide services in many
different situations, from adoption to hospice care. Social
workers can be found in hospitals, schools, mental health facilities,
senior centers, private practices, prisons, the military, government,
corporations, and public and private agencies. They continue
to make the world a better place, one person, one family, one
challenge at a time.
This month, join (insert organization) in paying tribute to
the contributions social workers make in (local community).
Signed,
