The mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed and living in poverty. Social workers play a critical role in enhancing the well-being of individuals, addressing social injustices, supporting clients living with mental illness, substance abuse, or other challenges, and advocating for individuals and groups to receive needed resources. Social workers help people maneuver within their interpersonal relationships as well as solve problems within their personal, family and communities. Social work is a great profession for those with a spark of idealism, a belief in social justice and a natural love of working with people.
