Cheers to home schooled student Harrison Otis for doing a great job explaining what social work is in this article for Maine’s Times Record.

Otis interviewed social worker Ellen Hurd, LCSW.

 “Social workers … believe in social justice, they believe in fairness, they believe in assisting people in finding the resources they need … whatever those resources might be,” Hurd said. “Most people who come into social work have this kind of perspective on society and on their work.”
