Social workers see potential in everyone.
Social workers examine people within in their environments and build upon personal, cultural, and community strengths for healing and growth. Assessing mental and behavioral health needs and determining an effective means of addressing them is how social workers support individuals, groups, and society as whole. That knowledge, skill, critical thinking, and capacity has to be developed.
Whether providing individual clinical treatment as a licensed social worker, writing policy as a community advocate, or overseeing risk mitigation or disaster management operations, they need a strong foundation. That’s what Tulane University School of Social Work provides.
