Social Work as a Profession

Social Work practice is carried out in social welfare agencies such as those concerned with mental health, public welfare, medical care, the aged, child welfare, drug abuse, corrections, juvenile delinuency, housing, community development, social planning, and schools. In order to effectively perform this work, social workers must be concerned about their fellow human beings and must regard the worth and dignity of all individuals as fundamental. They must believe in the capacity of people to change and improve while understanding that some of the problems of individuals can only be solved by bringing about changes in the social, economic, or political environments.
