Social Work

Social Workers have expertise in social justice, and they help individuals with varied backgrounds and experiences to improve their wellbeing. They may provide direct support to individuals and families, and may also do broader work related to policy and systems, including within the criminal justice system. Social Workers often work in hospitals, government agencies, correctional facilities, community organizations, and private practice.
