Social workers are professionals who work with individuals, families, and communities to address a wide range of social issues. They help people navigate challenges such as poverty, unemployment, mental health problems, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other difficult situations that can impact their well-being. Social workers use their knowledge and skills to connect people with resources, provide counseling and support, and advocate for change at the individual and community levels. They work in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, mental health clinics, and government agencies. The goal of social work is to promote social justice and improve the quality of life for those they serve.
