119th (2025–2027)
H.Res. 1103
This resolution expresses support for designating the week beginning March 2, 2026, as "School Social Work Week" to recognize the contributions of school social workers. School social workers are licensed mental health professionals who work in schools to support students facing challenges such as mental health disorders, poverty, disability, homelessness, and abuse. The resolution highlights that nearly one in five children have been diagnosed with mental, emotional, or behavioral health conditions, and that one in five children report unmet mental healthcare needs, making school social workers increasingly important. The resolution encourages schools and communities to observe this week with ceremonies and activities that raise awareness of how school social workers help students succeed academically and prepare for the future. There is no funding or implementation timeline associated with this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing congressional support for the designation.
