social workers
Family support professionals
Social workers are professionals who help individuals, families, and communities navigate difficult circumstances—poverty, abuse, mental illness, addiction, disability.
They connect people with resources, provide counseling, and advocate for vulnerable populations.
Social workers operate in hospitals, schools, government agencies, and private practice.
The field requires formal education and typically licensure.
