HelpStartsHere.org has raised awareness of social work with the news media. "Pitching" the value of social workers to the media is easier and more effective when inquiring reporters can be sent the link to a published article. Reporters are responding favorably to these articles as great resources for their stories. As a result, our contributors have been quoted in major print publications and Internet sites. Here are a few examples:
