#SocialWorkMonth
in March is a time to celebrate the great profession of social work.
The theme for Social Work Month 2021 is Social Workers Are Essential. They are trained to help people address personal and systemic barriers to optimal living and are employed to effect positive change with individuals, families, groups and entire communities. Social workers are part of the vital caregiving team that supports youth in foster care. We want to show our appreciation by sharing some of their stories this month.
February 26 is Tell a Fairy Tale Day How to Observe #Tell A Fairy Tale Day Tell a Great Story: 1. Engage your audience. Children like to participate. 2.Use repetition. Repeated stanzas, syllables or movements will keep the kids engaged. 3.Give your characters a voice. Varying your voice for each characterand inflecting excitement, sadness and disappointment will create drama and stimulate the imaginations of the little mindslistening to you. 4. Ask questions as you go. 5. Find out if someone has a story of their own. #imagination #fairytale #storytelling #familyfun #volunteer #alamedacountycasa
