Happy Social Work Month! Today Gov. Pete Ricketts issued a proclamation designating March 16 as Social Work Day in Nebraska. The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) recognizes and honors all our social workers who make a positive impact on people’s lives every day.

Social Work Services provides comprehensive and integrated discharge and aftercare planning as part of a continuum of care through Behavioral Health Services. Their goal is to reduce recidivism by connecting inmates to community resources and support that will help them maintain stable lives in the communities in which they reside.

Thank you to our NDCS social workers for all that you do! #SocialWorkMonth #KeepPeopleSafe #LeadHealthyLives
