PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL WORK
The primary purpose of social workers is to provide an environment in
which individuals feel empowered to change the quality of their lives,
improve communications, and create healthy relationships. The role of
therapists is to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and validated
and, in turn, offer supportive, constructive feedback to help clients
gain greater insight and understanding. Social Workers serve as the
catalyst for goal setting, decision making, and problem resolution. We
work in partnership with clients, their families, and community agencies
to help clients cope, manage, and resolve conflict.
