What is social work?

Social work involves helping people improve their welfare and that of the community. Social workers comprehensively understand development, behavior, society, and cultures.

Social work can benefit you as an individual, as well as families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers may be part of a team or work with people individually, depending on their role and the person’s needs.
