” I just want to take a moment to applaud you, social workers, guardians of the vulnerable, the people who try their best to keep the ship of family afloat, people who have dedicated their careers to reaching out to others, throwing out a lifeline when the storms rage up and it looks like that ship is going to sink with no survivors or has lost its way in the dark”.
