H.Res. 275 is a House resolution expressing support for Social Work Month and World Social Work Day on March 18, 2025. The resolution recognizes the contributions of approximately 728,000 social workers in the United States who provide essential mental health, behavioral health, and social services across hospitals, schools, government agencies, community centers, and other settings. The measure highlights social workers' critical roles in addressing mental health crises, supporting veterans and families, assisting disaster victims, combating homelessness and poverty, and promoting social justice. The resolution contains no funding or specific timelines beyond recognizing the March 18 observance, but it encourages Americans to participate in awareness activities and acknowledges the anticipated growth of the profession, with employment expected to exceed 800,000 by 2033. This is a symbolic gesture to honor the social work profession and call attention to the need for greater investment in recruiting and retaining social workers.
