The 2018 Social Work Month theme was “Social Workers: Leaders. Advocates. Champions.” I would like to encourage social workers to adopt this theme for the entire 2018 year. Indeed, social workers are providing leadership, serving as advocates, and championing important issues to affect people within their communities, the nation, and beyond. It is important for the profession to embody these roles. Empowerment in action is occurring across communities, and social workers are very much engaged in and leading the charge. Social workers serve populations across the spectrum, providing care regardless of income and influence. The commitment to serve vulnerable populations has been long-standing in the profession. It is important to reflect on the profession’s continued commitment to this population and the role that social workers play as agents of empowerment in providing leadership, serving as advocates, and championing issues that matter to the diverse populations we serve
