NAPSWI celebrates the World Social Work Day







World Social Work Day 2017  (WSWD) is being celebrated all over the world on the 21st of March. This year the theme is ‘Promoting Community and Environmental Sustainability’.   

This year on this occasion social work organizations throughout the world are commemorating Social Work Month (March) with a “Social Workers Stand Up!” campaign. This campaign is to educate the public about the contributions of #socialworkers and give social workers and their allies tools they can use to elevate the profession. Social workers stand up for millions of people every day. However we lack identity and recognition. Many people still misunderstand who social workers are and the invaluable contributions they bring to society.
In this regard on behalf of NAPSWI we appeal all the social workers and NAPSWI members across the country to celebrate this day, week and the year 2017-18 by organizing various programmes at their institutes, organization and groups.
With best wishes for #SocialWork Day.
Dr. Suresh Pathare                                                                        Dr. Sanjai Bhatt
Secretary, NAPSWI                                                                        President, NAPSWI

Celeb parents strike right note Uma Devarajan Raising children is a path full of trials and and elations. Into each parent’s life comes the instant when a passing remark from the "child" brings realisation that he or she is now an independent, self-reliant individual. The moment is usually a defining one. Just wishing for independent, responsible children is not enough, though. "Values have to be inculcated from day one. Don’t think that your child will learn when he grows up," says Delhi-based psychotherapist Suneel Vatsyayan. Monica Burman, wife of Dabur India chairman V.C. Burman, agrees. "Emotional support and tact in dealing with sensitive issues is very important. Make them feel that you are always there for them," she says. Coping with a child’s independence can be a bittersweet experience. It can at once be a source of immense pride and regret that the child is no longer within one’s protective circle.
