Social Work: It's more than a Degree

It's a Difference

The Social Work Profession is dedicated to enhancing human well-being and meeting the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs of empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. The profession focuses on individual well-being in a social context and the well-being of society. Fundamental to social work is attention to environmental forces that create, contribute to, and address problems in living. (NASW Code of Ethics, preamble)

Social workers promote social justice and social change. Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice through activities in direct practice, community organizing, supervision, consultation, administration, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation education, and research and evaluation.

Social workers seek to enhance the capacity of people to address their own needs. Social workers also seek to promote responsiveness of organizations, communities, and other social institutions to individuals' needs and social problems. (NASW code of Ethics)
