The Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW)
observes Constitution Day to acknowledge the enduring significance of the U.S. Constitution in guaranteeing the civil liberties that support social justice, diversity, and equality.
By celebrating the adoption of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, ICSW reaffirms its mission to train mental health professionals who respect the rights enshrined in this pivotal document, while advocating for those most vulnerable in society. Constitution Day also honors those who have become U.S. citizens, further emphasizing the importance of inclusion.
