Social Workers
By Jennifer Kenny 		  
1     Amelia's brother had an alcohol problem. He needed help. He entered a treatment facility with the assistance of a social worker. This individual made sure the family understood what was going on as well.
 
2     Austin was a ninety-five year old man. His family was experiencing great difficulty caring for his physical, emotional, and mental needs. They decided to seek help in a nursing home. The social worker at the facility helped him get settled, helped him with his needs, and worked with the family to adjust as well.
 
3     Cara was a sixty-five year old woman with very little money. She became very seriously ill and was unable to pay for the necessary treatment for her illness. The social worker at the hospital met with her, discussed options, and helped her find appropriate medical and financial services.
 
4     So what is a social worker? What kinds of qualities would a social worker possess? What kind of education does a social worker need?
