Social workers are found in many settings, 包括私人执业, 心理健康, 健康, 学校, 社区机构, 公共福利, 机构管理, 政策和规划. Social work’s approach is unique among the helping professions because it focuses on people’s problems in the context of their social environment. Social workers believe that people are influenced by the strengths and weaknesses of those around them – in their 家庭, 社区, 工作场所, 和组织.
Social workers apply their professional knowledge and skills to help people make the most effective use of their own abilities. When adequate services do not exist in a community, social workers promote the development of new services and programs.
