This year's theme for World Social Work Day is 'Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Wellbeing,' a theme that reflects the core of our work here at Hunter Primary Care. In honour of World Social Work Day, Andrew, Social Worker from our NDIS & Chronic Disease team, kindly gifted Hunter Primary Care with a framed copy of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples - an important document that reinforces our commitment to respect and care for all generations.
Andrew explains that this year’s theme emphasises the vital role of fostering respect and care across generations, a principle that directly aligns with Empowerment Theory. "Empowerment Theory is about enabling individuals and communities to improve their own lives, and it’s exactly what Arnja and I strive to do as NDIS Social Workers. Every day, we work alongside our clients to build strength, resilience, and the tools to thrive. We’re proud to be part of this global movement, strengthening communities and empowering individuals for enduring wellbeing" says Andrew.
