Social work is a profession and an academic discipline dedicated to improving the well-being of individuals, families, groups and communities. It addresses human needs not only at the level of individual difficulties but also in relation to social, economic, cultural, political and environmental conditions. Social workers work with people experiencing poverty, discrimination, unemployment, family conflict, disability, illness, homelessness, substance dependence, violence, displacement and many other forms of vulnerability. At the same time, social work is not limited to responding to problems after they occur. It also seeks to prevent social difficulties, strengthen communities, promote human capabilities and contribute to social development.The importance of social work has increased considerably in the contemporary world. Rapid urbanisation, migration, technological change, economic inequality, environmental crises, ageing populations, changing family structures and social exclusion have created complex challenges that cannot be addressed through a single discipline.
