They often work with children and families to address issues such as poverty, abuse, neglect, and access to healthcare or education. Their role includes assessing client needs, developing service plans, and advocating on behalf of clients to ensure their well-being. Family Service Workers may be employed by government agencies, non-profit organizations, or community centers, and they play a vital role in strengthening family units and promoting positive outcomes.
