The term "Social Services" refers to a broad range of programs and initiatives that are designed to improve the well-being, safety, and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. These services can include assistance with basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing; support in accessing healthcare, education, and job training opportunities; counseling and therapy for mental health issues; protection from abuse or neglect; and advocacy for vulnerable populations. Social Services are typically provided by government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community groups, with the goal of promoting social justice, reducing poverty, and creating more equitable societies.
