Social Work is an applied field, offering a scientifically-grounded, value-based approach to human services. Social workers work in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, mental health, juvenile justice, and perform a variety of tasks such as case management, client advocacy, and counseling. The profession of social work extends back to the late 19th Century, when various individuals and groups began applying a unique perspective and orientation to address the social problems of the time. While Mary Richmond and Jane Addams, two of the Founding Mothers of Social Work, had different approaches, each saw the importance of the interplay between individuals and their environment for understanding and ameliorating individually-felt social problems. This foundation of the person-in-environment perspective establishes the special contribution that social work and social workers have in our society. It is an exciting field, to study, to develop, and to practice.
