WHAT IS SOCIAL WORK???
Unfortunately, social work has been hard to define. Different dictionary definitions treat social work as a set of skills, a job title or even an activity that might be performed by volunteers. None treat this as a profession with extensive academic and practice experience required for the work. Although these definitions describe some of the tasks some social workers may perform, they fail to distinguish social worker from others who may also engage in these activities. Therefore, it is informative to examine how social workers define themselves.

Definition of Social Work
The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilising theories of human behaviour and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social work is both a profession and social science. It involves the application of social theory and research methods to study and improve the lives of people, groups, and societies. It incorporates and uses other social sciences as a means to improve the human condition and positively change society's response to chronic problems.
Social work is many things, like helping individuals improve their lives, assisting groups in accessing needed services and guiding communities to effect change. Professionals in the field of social work have a tremendous responsibility in their involvement with people.
