Social work is concerned with assisting individuals in overcoming adversity in their lives. Poverty, substance abuse, unemployment, disabilities, mental illness, and several other issues are among them. Social work also focuses heavily on social justice and equality.
Social Work degrees emphasize not just helping people but also teaching and collaborating with them in order to alter their circumstances and create better living situations. Social workers assist community members in developing new skills or improving current ones, which transforms people's mindsets and encourages them to be proactive.

things for
granted. Be it money, time, or even family relations. Through the curated

personalities begin to transform. They will be able to understand their
strengths and
weaknesses, making them better human beings.

are not considerate enough of
the underprivileged. Social Workers bring positive impacts on society by
understanding
and helping such individuals who are in need.
