L to R: Caitlin, Molly

March is National Social Work Month which gives us a great opportunity to celebrate our two social workers: Molly Mitley and Caitlin Hurley.

Molly started in January 2022 and Caitlin Hurley joined the EPPD in May 2025. Molly’s position is funded jointly by the City and Hennepin County and Caitlin’s position is funded by the City, County and a grant from the State of Minnesota.

Molly and Caitlin make direct personal connections with individuals and families to assist them with challenges they face and to connect them with services they may not have been aware of that can assist them with long-term help. They build quality relationships with individuals and families who work with them directly rather than calling 911 when they need the kind of assistance a social worker can provide.

Examples of the kind of work Molly and Caitlin do include assisting individuals who are suffering from chemical dependency and connecting them with County services and assisting individuals who have diagnosed medical conditions that require help with daily life challenges.

Thank you, Molly and Caitlin! We appreciate all that you do for our department and our community!
