Social Workers
Social workers are professionals dedicated to helping individuals and communities with personal and social challenges. They can be found in various settings, including public agencies, hospitals, universities, and private practices. Their work involves addressing personal issues, disabilities, and social issues, such as substance misuse, housing insecurity, and unemployment.
Social workers also play a crucial role in resolving family conflicts, including cases of domestic violence and child abuse. There are many subtypes of social work, including child, family, and school; medical and public health; and mental health and substance use.
To become a social worker, one typically needs a bachelor’s or master’s degree in social work, along with relevant licensure or certification. Social workers’ dedication to advocacy and support makes them essential in helping individuals navigate complex social and personal challenges.
