Dominican Sisters Family Health Service and the National Association of Social Workers Celebration of National Professional Social Work Month, March 2008
February 27, 2008 Ossining, NY ….Dominican Sisters Family Health Service, along with the National Association of Social Workers, proudly announces National Social Work Month 2008. This year’s theme – Building on Strengths: Help Starts Here – focuses on the important strengths inherent in each individual, family and community. Understanding and utilizing these strengths are essential to improving the emotional health and well-being of society. “Social workers are a vital part of the continuum of care provided by the home care teams for DSFHS,” says Sr. Virginia Hanrahan, as President and CEO, “the strengths perspective approach fosters hope by focusing on the positive, rather than on feelings of helplessness.”
Social Work Month also provides an opportunity for social workers to highlight the pivotal role they play in working with individuals and families. Through education, training and dedication, social workers provide assistance in many different areas of practice including health, aging, mental health, child welfare, cancer, end of life, adolescent health, HIV/AIDS and family violence. To find comprehensive information about the role of social work and where to go for assistance for these and other issues, visit www.HelpStartsHere.org. In addition to Social Work services, this Visiting Nurse Service also offers Pastoral Care.
The mission of the Dominican Sisters Family Health Service, a community-based, certified, non-profit Home Health Care Agency is to provide compassionate, professional, holistic and family focused home health care to ALL persons in need. Services foster a quality of life, which promotes human growth and independence. Special emphasis is given to care of the poor, the marginalized and the elderly. DSFHS has Long Term Home Health Care and AIDS Home Care Programs, and unique, non-medical outreach programs for mothers and babies and the frail elderly.
In 2007, DSFHS Social Workers made over 3,900 home visits. We know you will join us in honoring the achievements of these professionals and celebrating Nation Social Work Month. For Social Work, Pastoral Care or Home Health Care Services, please call 914-941-1654 or visit the web at www.dsfhs.org.
