November 6: a day for recognizing the challenges community social service workers face
Violence in the workplace, workload, health and safety issues are just a few major challenges community social service workers face.
Since 2008, the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) has recognized November 6 as Community Social Service Workers Appreciation Day. Now two provinces and over 125 communities across Canada also recognize November 6 as a day to show our appreciation for the compassionate work community social service workers do.
