Social Work: Linking Individuals, Families, Communities

Social workers act as brokers between individuals, families, and communities, connecting them with essential resources and services. They serve as intermediaries between clients and agencies, providing access to medical care, housing, education, and other supports. As advocates, social workers negotiate on behalf of clients, ensuring their needs are met and their rights are protected. They also facilitate communication between different stakeholders, bridging gaps between service providers and the populations they serve.
