"She made a comment about “all the help I was getting from therapy” without asking me if I thought she was helping. I had Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and a Connective Tissue Disorder. She knew SO LITTLE about what it meant to have these conditions. I was in severe chronic pain (physical and mental) and when she made this comment, I was extremely suicidal. She said SO MANY IGNORANT things about chronic pain because she didn’t understand what it meant to have a life like mine!"

What is Social Work?

Strongly influenced by the concepts of human rights and social justice, social workers are professionals that help vulnerable individuals, families, and groups in need. Social work can include a variety of different jobs or careers, but in essence it involves meeting people in their home environment, identifying the issues that are causing social problems for them, and connecting them with the right resources to improve their well-being.

Social workers may work for organizations, in hospitals, in schools, for the government, at senior centers, in private practice, or in any number of public or private institutions. Many social workers choose to work with specific populations, such as children, the elderly, or the poor. Often, social work is about creating healthy communities in order to improve the lives of all people.

Some of the issues that social workers may come up against in their profession include:

Violence
Poverty
Abuse
Discrimination
Illness and lack of access to healthcare
Drug and alcohol addiction
Divorce
Death and grief
Unemployment
Disability
Mental illness
Family dysfunction

Social workers are advocates for social change. They educate clients to prevent problems from occurring or worsening. They empower others to develop to their full potential.
