what is your job like?

Social workers help people overcome problems in their daily lives.
One of the ways social workers help is by finding resources for people. For instance if a person is homeless, they help them find a home or a resource place.

 

Some social workers research what kinds of help people need. Then, they set up programs to give that help. An example would be if a child deals with poverty, abuse, etc.

 

Many social workers give counseling. They listen to what others have to say and give them advice.
