Description
Child welfare social workers serve children, youths, and their families. They specialize in building on families' strengths and helping them provide a safe and nurturing environment for children and youths. However, when families are unable to do this, social workers must intervene to protect the children from harm. Child welfare social workers ensure that children and youths who have experienced abuse or neglect receive support through a range of services.
