Why Social Work?
Social work skills and knowledge are ideally suited to the practice of mental health because of our focus on the person (thoughts and behaviors) to the environment (family, work, school) as well as considering culture, gender, race etc. Social workers also consider multiple types of intervention.
People see social workers when they are going through a difficult period in their personal, family and/or work life.
Social workers help clients:
•identify and understand the source of stress or difficulty
•develop coping skills and find effective solutions to their problems
•find needed resources
•by providing counselling and psychotherapy.
Social workers deal with all ages, groups, backgrounds and income levels. Social workers provide the majority of counselling and psychotherapy services in Ontario. (Source: The Ontario Association of Social Workers. For more information see: www.OASW.org )
