Social Work [in general].

As a senior social work major in an accredited undergraduate social work program, I have an obvious interest in social work. This blog, therefore, will be dedicated to my own life-long learning process as well as to educating others about social work.

Wikipedia does a great job of summarizing the field of social work:

"Social Workers are concerned with social problems,
their causes, their solutions and their human impacts.
Social workers work with individuals, families, groups,
organizations and communities, as members of a
profession which is committed to social justice and human rights.
Social Work is the profession committed to the pursuit of social justice,
to the enhancement of the quality of life, and to the development
of the full potential of each individual, group and community in society."
