Social workers can provide direct services to people in need, such as dealing with marriage and family conflicts, solving personal psychological, economic and educational problems, and giving help from different angles such as communication, guidance and support to help them solve problems and get out of trouble.
Social workers help people solve problems through a series of working methods and rich professional knowledge and skills, thus improving people's quality of life and self-esteem. The professional value of social workers mainly lies in their unique humanistic characteristics, professional knowledge and skills in social life, and their continuous contribution to society.
