Social Work Research Guide

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

• "Social workers help people solve and cope with problems in their everyday lives. One group of social workers—clinical social workers—also diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional issues."
• "Social and community service managers coordinate and supervise social service programs and community organizations. They manage staff who provide social services to the public."
• "Social and human service assistants provide client services, including support for families, in a wide variety of fields, such as psychology, rehabilitation, and social work. They assist other workers, such as social workers, and they help clients find benefits or community services."
