Help Others Help Themselves Through Social Work
Social workers help people identify and resolve problems—both personal and those related to the social environment―and enjoy a better life. You can become an advocate for children and adults who are victims of abuse, while you work to promote social and economic justice.
As a social worker, you can work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, social service agencies, schools, youth centers, mental health or substance abuse facilities, nursing homes, and others. A degree in social work from IU East can put you on the path to a fulfilling career helping others.
