Child, family and school...
Child, family and school social workers work with families and youth that are mainly part of child welfare. These social workers work with children who were victims of abuse and/or neglect, helping them into foster care services. These social workers also help couples who want to give their child up for adoption and to find children foster families. The main goal of child and family social workers is to reunite families and give the child a safe physical, emotional, and psychological environment to live and grow.
School social workers are normally called upon when a student with past home difficulties is acting out in school, bulling other students or is frequently absent. These social workers are taught how to address social and psychological developmental concerns that may decrease academic performance in the student. And how to develop plans to increase academics and social development.
