Bertie DSS celebrates special recognition day The Bertie County Depart ment of Social Services is cel ebrating Sept. 20 as National Child Welfare Social Worker Recognition Day. This day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the essential work being done across the country by this dedicated group of social work professionals. “Our child welfare social workers are out on the front lines every day,” said Cindy Perry, Bertie County Depart ment of Social Services Di rector. “Like our law enforce ment, emergency services and other first responders. these staff answer calls for assistance at all hours and they are acutely aware that lives may be at risk as they respond. The unique aspect to this work, however, is that child welfare workers, while often among the first re sponders, are involved with children and families as a resource and support for as long as they are needed.” Perry continued, “Child welfare social workers work to build relationships with families and help guide them through difficult family cir cumstances. Child welfare social workers help children heal from trauma and help parents create stable, nur turing environments where children can thrive. In situ ations where children need an adoptive home, child wel fare workers help identify these permanent homes. This day of recognition is a wonderful opportunity to thank a dedicated group of people who may often go un seen by the general public but whose work is critical to the future of our communi ties.” On Sept. 20, County De partments of Social Services across North Carolina will be holding events to recog nize their child welfare so cial work staff. Many county agencies will view One Heart Can Make a Difference: Impacting Lives through Dy namic Service Excellence by Mark Anthony Garrett, a live virtual event hosted by the National Child Welfare Work force Institute (NCWWl) and the Children’s Bureau. Gar rett will address how every person within the child wel fare system has the power to be a difference maker when their heart is emotionally connected to the jobs they perform. “Child welfare social work ers help build strong, nur turing communities through their leadership and advo cacy,” said Director Cindy Perry. “Our agency is grate ful to have outstanding child welfare workers. We appre ciate their dedication to the families in Bertie County and we want to take this day to thank them for all they do to help the children in our county have a brighter to morrow.” To learn more about the child welfare workforce, go to ncwwi.org.
