Generally speaking, social work is to do such a thing. The purpose of doing this thing is to help others, help this person improve himself and achieve the ability of self-help.
For example, someone is withdrawn. Later, we found out that the reason why he was withdrawn was related to his parents' frequent quarrels. The reason why parents quarrel is because two people lack communication skills. So we can start with the communication between parents, and then the communication between ourselves. So as to improve its family function. They have acquired the ability to improve themselves. Fundamentally eliminated the contradiction we want to solve.
Social work is a very boring major. . . . Please don't into the pit.
1) Providing professional information The role of social workers is to provide professional information on social work to the public, social organizations, relevant departments and other occupations. As a cause of helping others, social work has officially become a profession or a discipline for nearly a hundred years. However, it was not until the end of last century that it was introduced into China as a profession. As a young discipline, social work is not well known to the public. Many people don't know how to get help in society when they are in trouble. Therefore, the assistance and services provided by social work have not been fully utilized. The primary task of social workers is to publicize and help the public know and understand social work majors and social work institutions. So as to achieve the goal of giving full play to the professional function of social work. (2) The important function of providing support and guidance for the case owner is to provide support and guidance for the case owner in difficulty. In the real society, many people will encounter problems that cannot be solved by themselves. At this time, people often can't correctly understand their real situation because of bad emotions such as anxiety and fear, so that the problem can't be solved and even have more serious avoidable consequences. With their professional knowledge and skills, social workers can be in an objective position, give psychological support and care to the case owner, help the case owner to calmly, truly and comprehensively analyze and evaluate the relevant information of his personal situation, scientifically understand the problems existing in reality, and give the case owner the direction and ideas for thinking and solving problems. (3) The main function of social assistance social workers is to take care of vulnerable groups regularly and undertake direct distribution of relief materials or other relief work. Due to physiological or social reasons, a considerable number of vulnerable groups are in special circumstances, such as the elderly, mental patients, victims of domestic violence, the disabled and released prisoners. These groups are temporarily or permanently unable to carry out basic life, and social workers play the role of care and protection at this time. Social workers are committed to safeguarding their right to life and normal life. And try to create conditions to ensure the self-development of this part of the population. While undertaking the work of distributing relief materials and other forms of relief directly to them, social workers also carry out relevant publicity to the public to eliminate discrimination and enable the disabled to participate in normal social life. (D) the establishment of a resource network social workers through social service institutions and systems, effective distribution of social resources and opportunities, the establishment of a resource network. In social life, social resources are limited, and at the same time, due to the limitation of living environment, people often don't know which resources exist around them and which resources can be used. Social workers establish the necessary connection between society and the system providing resources and services, guide people to use these resources and services, and enable the case owner to make full use of the resource network to meet their needs when necessary. Social workers also carry out liaison between social resource systems, do a good job of communication between networks, coordinate the activities of various resource institutions, save resources to the maximum extent, and provide efficiency and effectiveness in interaction. (5) Social workers who solve social disputes can solve social disputes in the most constructive way and help the system in conflict reach an understanding. Social workers stand in the position of a third party and remain neutral. They have no vested interests in the parties to the conflict and the realization of * * *, so they can look at and analyze the situation more objectively and fairly and will not take sides. At this time, social workers play an important role in confirming the similar foundation between the two sides who hold different opinions on things, enhancing mutual understanding between the two sides of the conflict and becoming a bridge for them to communicate. (VI) Providing information and opportunities Social workers provide information and opportunities so that members of society can play their social roles more effectively and prevent problems and difficult living conditions. According to the needs of clients for social adaptability, social workers provide various information in an acceptable way to teach or help them learn specific social life skills, including not only the basic skills to maintain and improve the living conditions of recipients, but also the methods to solve various problems in social life and so on. "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish." This role of social workers also fully embodies the professional value of social work "helping others to help themselves". (7) Giving Opinions and Suggestions Social workers can prevent and correct people's deviant behaviors by giving opinions or suggestions. Social workers shape the social behavior of clients and promote their socialization by making people accept correct ideas and learn more acceptable behaviors, and using professional methods such as role shaping and value clarification. At the same time, social workers often play the role of public educators, increase the public's understanding and understanding of social conditions and social problems, and prevent the formation and development of problems. Because social workers, as professionals, rather than law enforcement officers and administrators, force deviants to abide by laws and rules and devote themselves to helping those who are discriminated by society as deviants to obtain social recognition and due social services, which makes the guidance and supervision of social workers easily accepted by them. (VIII) Participating in the formulation and adjustment of policies Social workers can directly serve the decision-making departments and participate in the formulation and adjustment of relevant policies. At the same time, social workers are also responsible for implementing the policies and work plans of a social institution. As a special working method, social work administration in social work is to plan, design, coordinate, evaluate and adjust the independent tasks, functions and activities in a social welfare organization, which is necessary to transform policies into services and coordinate all service activities, and also necessary to achieve specific institutional goals. Provide policy basis for social workers to research and develop the knowledge and theory of social work specialty, improve the professional service level, and provide research basis for the formulation of social policies. Greenwood believes that a mature major should have five basic characteristics: 1. A set of theories; 2. Professional authority; 3.*** code of ethics; 4. Community recognition; 5. Professional culture. (Greenwood. e， 1957)。 As an applied major, social work pays attention to theory guiding practice and practice returning to theory. Theory and practice are two complementary aspects of discipline development. Social workers accumulate experience in the practice of solving social problems, build a theoretical system, improve their professionalism, and constantly improve their professionalism. So as to make social work mature and help individuals or groups more effectively. From a macro perspective, social workers hold professional values that respect human values, emphasize dedication, and take "helping others" as the core and basic form of professional activities. The professional value concept of social work in active communication not only helps the public, but also affects people's recognition of altruism. The helping behavior of social workers will also become an example for people to act, thus creating a good and civilized social environment. At the same time, it is difficult to guarantee the basic rights of the weak in the market economy and social competition.

What is school social work? The Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong has developed the following school social work models over the years:
1. Resident social worker service
"One social worker per school" is a common form of school social work in Hong Kong. Social workers are stationed in schools to meet the needs of different schools, cooperate with teachers to provide services for students and help recipients solve personal, academic and family problems. The usual working methods are interview counseling, group work and diversified activities.
2. Cooperate with consulting services.
The cooperation between school social workers and other counseling institutions outside the school can bring three functions: first, the referral of case counseling; Second, social workers get training in job skills and knowledge; Third, it can provide effective support and consultation for school social workers.
3. Cooperate with the service of youth center.
Through cooperation with youth centers, school social workers can use more resources to provide services for the recipients. In addition, in many aspects, such as the provision of venues, the design of activity programs and so on. Youth centers can also be used as behind-the-scenes support for the development of school social work.
4. Cooperation with the Youth Integrated Service Team
As the Youth Integrated Service Team grasps the services of youth centers and outreaching social workers within its jurisdiction, and fully understands the trends of students at the peer level, leisure time and community level, the close cooperation between school social workers and the Youth Integrated Service Team can extend the services of school social workers to students at the community level, and with the support and assistance of the Youth Integrated Service Team, formulate different intervention strategies to solve students' problems more effectively.

What is the major of social work? Social work is non-profit, and it is a professional and professional activity that serves others and society. To put it simply, in China, the best way to learn this major is to work in community neighborhood committees, while there are few professional social workers in other industries. For example, Miss Mo is a social worker in a hospital, and only neighborhood committees in the mainland have such full-time staff.
This major is relatively unpopular. If the landlord wants to work in the neighborhood Committee, he will work in the neighborhood Committee. If he works hard and his salary is low, I don't know how many years he will develop.

Social work career promotes social change and the harmony of interpersonal relationship, and strengthens and liberates human's pursuit of happiness. Social work helps people to better communicate and integrate with the environment with the help of theories such as human behavior and social system. It is based on the basic principles of human rights and social justice.
Note: Social work helps people communicate with the environment in various ways. Its purpose is to promote the full potential of human development, enrich human life and prevent human dysfunction. Professional social work focuses on solving and changing problems. Social workers are the promoters of social change, personal life, family and community life progress. Social work is a multidimensional system integrating values, theory and practice.
Social work originates from the concepts of humanism and democracy, and its values are based on respect for equality, value and dignity of all people. Based on the history of one hundred years, today's social work practice has always focused on meeting people's needs and developing people's potential. Human rights and social justice are the driving force and legitimacy of social work. Together with the social vulnerable groups, we are committed to alleviating poverty and liberating those who are vulnerable and oppressed, so as to improve the social participation of the vulnerable groups. The values of social work are rooted in national and global professional ethics.
The theoretical research method of social work is a fact-based knowledge system based on investigation, research and practical evaluation, including local and inherent knowledge in various cultural backgrounds. The methodology of social work recognizes the complexity of communication between people and the environment, people's ability to be influenced by the environment and how to change the complexity of this influence, including biological, social and psychological factors. Social work majors use the theories of human development, behavior and social system to analyze various complex situations and promote the changes of individuals, organizations, society and culture.
Social work is committed to eliminating all kinds of shielding, inequality and injustice that exist widely in society. It deals not only with crises and emergencies, but also with the daily problems of individuals and society. Social work uses various skills and methods to carry out various activities in order to achieve its goal of paying comprehensive attention to human beings and the environment. Social work covers a wide range, from the basic personal social psychological development process to social policies and their formulation and development. It includes consultation, clinical social work (free clinic), collective work, social education work, family therapy and therapy, and efforts to help people get community services and resources. It also includes institutional management, community organizations, social participation and political activities that have a certain impact on social policies and economic development. The focus of social work in a broad sense is universal, but at the same time, it has its own emphasis according to different cultural, historical and socio-economic conditions in different places and times.
