Social Work

Social work is a professional field that focuses on enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and communities through practical support, advocacy, and intervention. Social workers aim to address social issues, promote social justice, and help people overcome challenges related to poverty, discrimination, mental health, substance abuse, and family dynamics. The field encompasses various roles and settings, including direct practice with clients, community organization, policy development, and research. Social work emphasizes a strengths-based approach, recognizing the inherent resilience and potential of individuals while addressing systemic barriers and inequities. Education and training in social work typically involve obtaining a degree in social work (BSW or MSW) and may require licensure or certification to practice professionally.
