Social work is the largest social service profession in the United States. Social workers help people function better in their environments, improve their relationships with others, and solve personal and family problems through individual, social, and psychological support. The most commonly reported practice areas of licensed social worker members are mental health (37%), child welfare/family (13%) and health (13%). Social workers also work with older adults, adolescents, and with other populations in various settings.
