Social work is a professional practice and academic discipline focused on helping individuals, families, and communities cope with challenges such as poverty, abuse, mental illness, and disability. Social workers, often licensed (e.g., LCSW), provide counseling, case management, and advocacy within schools, hospitals, government agencies, and nonprofits. The profession emphasizes social justice and improving clients' well-being and access to resources.
