March is social work month. The theme this year is Social Work is Essential. Indeed, social work is an essential aspect of human interactions. Social Workers are building blocks in the community and have for so long been unrecognized for the humanizing, social justice, equity, and healing work done through communities around the world. Social workers stand on the front line of social issues that are often ignored and advocate relentlessly to bring humanity to every person and issue. Many social workers worked through the pandemic to address increasing cases of suicide, grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety. The next time you see a social worker, send love and gratitude.
Thank you to all my fellow social workers worldwide making the world a better place.

Suicide is a national public health challenge that causes tremendous pain for individuals, families and communities across the country.
On average, 132 Americans die by suicide each day accounting for 47,173 suicide deaths in 2017.
The number of Veteran suicides has exceeded 6,000 each year from 2008-2017.
Suicide is also the 10th leading cause of death among all ages and the 2nd leading cause of death among those ages 10-34 in the United States.
Research shows that for every suicide, 135 people are personally affected — families, friends, co-workers, and community members — which means in one year, up to 6.3 million people were directly affected by suicide.1

Leaders also encourage spirituality in the workplace. The term spirituality comes from the Latin spiritus, which means vapor, breath, air, or wind. Spirituality, which differs in definition, consists of sacred practices such as prayer, worship, meditation, writing, and connection, often beneficial to people's management of life's unpredicted stressors and mishaps. Work is a God-ordained activity, and spirituality means many things to many people; however, it creates an interconnectedness for completeness and joy when meshed well into organizations. Leaders can support an employee's spiritual accommodation or expression in the workplace if that practice helps them overcome mental health illness. We will get from stigmatization of mental health to acceptance and help-seeking by promoting benefits for everyone involved in the change. Therefore, Leaders should communicate consistently, purposefully, and tactfully to create meaning and safe connections between them and their employees' use of spirituality in the workplace.
