Today, on November 21st, we celebrate Social Worker Day – a holiday for people who provide help to those in difficult life situations every day. On this occasion, the Mayor of the Ełk Commune, Tomasz Osewski, met with the employees of the Communal Social Welfare Center in Ełk to personally thank them for their commitment and dedication to carrying out their daily duties. During the meeting, the Mayor expressed his appreciation for the professionalism, empathy, and determination that social workers put into their work. – The actions you take have a huge impact on the lives of the residents of our commune. Thanks to your sensitivity and willingness to provide support, many people regain hope and a sense of security. The work you do is more than just a duty – it is a mission – emphasized Tomasz Osewski. Employees of the Communal Social Welfare Center face challenges every day that require not only knowledge and experience, but also great mental resilience and the ability to work with another person in the most difficult moments of their life. The Mayor emphasized that the activity of the Communal Social Welfare Center is invaluable, especially in current times, when various crises – economic, health, or social – affect many families. The meeting was also an opportunity to discuss current challenges facing the Communal Social Welfare Center and to collectively discuss the possibilities of further supporting this important institution. Social Worker Day is a perfect opportunity to remind ourselves of the important role that people working in social assistance play. Thanks to their commitment, the residents of our commune can rely on real support in their most difficult moments. On behalf of the entire community of the Ełk Commune, we extend our warm wishes to all Social Workers – for health, professional satisfaction, and an unwavering passion for helping others.
