1 . Social workers do more than just help people
Having a passion for helping others is important,
but being a social worker requires so much more.
People who are experiencing the most vulnerable
time in their lives rely on social workers to
connect them with resources and find solutions
to complex problems.

2. Social workers are in it for the
outcome, not the income
Being a social worker is not going to make you
financially rich. Many professionals are drawn to
the field because they are passionate about
helping others and doing meaningful work. That
said, social workers deserve competitive
compensation packages for the valuable
contributions they make.

3. Social workers contribute at all
levels of society
Social work is a broad, diverse field where the
work extends across many settings. These
professionals work with individuals, families,
schools, universities, nonprofit agencies,
corporations, hospitals and government agencies.

4. Social workers have to make hard decisions
Making decisions that impact peoples lives is a
huge responsibility for social workers. Above
all, safety is the number one driver of those
decisions. Most social workers collaborate with
families, fellow staff members and other
stakeholders to explore all possibilities and
make well-informed decisions.

5. There are male social workers
Many think women dominate the social work field.
However, there are lots of male social workers
and many are in leadership positions. The
country needs more men in the social work field.
Social work requires a balanced, diverse mix of
people able to help a diverse population.
