Professional Group Honors Social Worker
A Huntington Beach woman has received the Social Worker of the Year Award from the National Assn. of Social Workers’ Orange County unit.
Carol Cole, a social worker in private practice, was honored not only for her work with patients but for the many workshops, classes and training seminars she teaches for colleagues.
Cole specializes in working with people suffering from chronic mental illnesses, as well as homeless people and child-abuse victims. She is the author of several training manuals.
The association also recognized Board of Supervisors Chairman William G. Steiner with the Public Elected Official Award. The group noted Steiner’s work both as the former head of the Orangewood Children’s Foundation and his advocacy for social issues on the Board of Supervisors.
