What does a social worker do?
Social workers are compassionate problem-solvers who help others cope in difficult situations in their lives. They create solutions for their clients through advocacy, assistance, therapy, crisis intervention and more.
As a social worker, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of many people. You’ll serve a diverse range of individuals and build meaningful one-on-one relationships. Active listening, emotional intelligence and effective conflict resolution skills all play key roles in being a successful and effective social worker.
