At the National Association of Social Workers Chapter (NASW-MN), we are still reeling from the catastrophic violence that took place yesterday at Annunciation Catholic School in South Minneapolis.
We are holding victims, families, and community in our hearts – everyone deserves the opportunity to work, learn, and grow in safety. Social Workers are among the first called to action when tragedies like this impact our communities.
It is a privilege to be able to serve people in their most difficult moments, and it is more important than ever that we take good care of ourselves and each other as we work to heal together.
Here are resources to help you and those you care about as you work to process this tragedy.
